What the petition asks
Our main concern is the effects on the environment but also we want society to restore their spiritual values and to have peace of mind.
We should take the lesson of the coronavirus epidemic as an example of the benefits of having less people on the streets as this reduces pollution.

It is important to reduce pollution and there's no question about it. These days people can buy online so why do we need more people on the streets on Sundays.
Less shops means: less cars, trains, energy consumption, rubbish, noise, etc. This will allow the air to clean and nature to flourish better.
This would also reduce accidents and the need for more police on the and emergency services on the streets.
This would help to reduce stress on society.
