dot water fountains around London to reduce using plastic bottles.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

About 8 million metric tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually. Animals that depend on the ocean mistake these plastics as food and end up risking their lives by eating them. If we place more water fountains in the city, we can reduce the use of plastic and help save our world.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This is the responsibility of the Mayor of London, who is accountable to the London Assembly.
