Mandatory viewing of David Attenborough's A Life On Our Planet for all MPs in UK

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We demand that everyone in governmental power, from all parties, watches this documentary and acts proactively towards Climate Change. We need to create systemic changes to our world, on a practical long lasting level.
Because our future is at risk, this is an urgent issue. We want the government to care more about the environment and it's people. We want them to take action and make incentives like countries such as Costa Rica... We want them to educate themselves and care about the world we live in and the people they are creating laws for. We want them to use their power on a larger scale because we can't.

Why it was rejected

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

The Government is not responsible for the viewing activity of individual MPs. This is a matter for each MP to decide for themselves.
