Abolish HS2 to fund a greener future for Britain

Closed 342 signatures

What the petition asks

Abolish HS2 and use the money saved to fund green projects in the country to help us move towards a safer future. HS2 itself is terrible for the environment and the money should be used to help resolve the climate crisis instead.
We are at the brink of an irreversible climate catastrophe, and building HS2 is detrimental to our environment. If the money spent on HS2 was instead spent on funding green projects and movements, we could help prevent this catastrophe from happening and be a trailblazer for environmental change.
