Plant UK's share of 1 trillion trees needed globally to fight climate change.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Tom Crowther's research at ETH Zurich shows that planting one trillion trees globally could remove enough carbon from the atmosphere to stop runaway climate change. It is by far the cheapest and easiest way to tackle the problem, and we owe it to future generations to play our part.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what the UK's share means and when they would be planted by. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do or you might like to sign and share this petition:
