Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
Allow schools to have the resources to repatriate their waste for creative school learning such as plastic, paper, cardboard and giving schools the ability to grow their own food on-campus.
An initiative that encourages school students to grow their own food on campus will highlight the benefits of a healthy meal and develop an understanding of horticulture through educational learning.
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 you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Schools are already able to choose to do this.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as creating a new fund for schools to be able to adopt it. You might also be interested in this petition:
