Ban petrol and diesel vehicles to keep our as air clean as it is now

Closed 32 signatures

What the petition asks

End the production and use of petroleum powered vehicles on all UK roads. Only allow electric vehicles to be used on the roads by all private drivers & with severe restrictions on commercial use until enough electric commercial vehicles can be produced.
Since the lockdown, air quality around the world has been the best it’s been in a century. Effects of climate change may be reversing across the planet. We the people refuse for it to go back to the catastrophic path we were going down prior to this global event. We want to breathe clean air, as is our birthright. We do not accept the poisoning of our bodies and the destruction of our planet to make a few people rich. End the use of fossil fuel powered vehicles on our roads immediately.
