    Petition to The Jordanian Citizens, United Nations Environment Program, Shada El-Sharif, Director of Jordan Environment Fund

    A Cleaner Jordan

    The Environmental Crisis in Jordan has reached a very high and dangerous place and has become one of the main issues today. The environment is very important and needs to be taken care of, pollution is very atrocious and awful, it damages our soil, our water, and even our health, its time to make a change and its time to give this planet the care it deserves. The Environment in Jordan is slowly but certainly getting worse. When searching about 'The ugliest places in the world' the first source found is https://www.ucityguides.com/cities/10-ugliest-cities-in-the-world.html which states " Amman, Jordan is the third ugliest city in the world. Unless you enjoy dirty, polluted, and chaotic streets, ugly buildings looking like they're crumbling on top of each other you shouldn't visit Amman." This shames me and my feelings towards my country that is so dear to me, but at the same time, it gives me hope, that us Jordanians can make a change and invest into our country and make it beautiful and change it from being on the list of ugliest to list of most environmentally friendly. I need your help to make that change, the penalty for littering and polluting in Jordan is only 20 JDs, which most of the time isn't even abided by and is not cared for, which is why we need to get them to listen and help us make the necessary change to stop the polluting and instead start cleaning.

    Cleaner Streets

    In Queens, there is a lot of garbage on the floor which can cause sickness and is very unsanitary. This is a formal request to address this problem by adding more trash cans and having trucks to pick the garbage often so it won't pile up due to the lack of proper garbage disposal. In the community of Queens, there has been a lot of littering going on and it is furthermore increasing.Significantly, “As the largest city in the world’s most wasteful country, New York generates more than 14 million tonnes of trash each year; reputedly (though possibly inaccurately) more than any other city in the world.¨ (Galka, 2016). To paraphrase, this city has a lot of wasteful trash every year more than other cities in the world. This is critical because ´trash´ means discarded matter, in other words there is a huge amount of garbage in our city that makes our city have a useless amount of trash. It states, “If New Yorkers recycled at their maximum potential, about 68 percent of the 3 million or so tons of trash produced in the city's homes, municipal buildings and schools each year would be diverted from landfills.” (Goldenberg, 2020). In simpler terms, there has been millions of trash that is made everywhere in the place we go to where we made a hazardous waste dump. This important because ĺandfill´ a place where waste and disposable materials are stored. With this said individuals create so much trash that it goes to a place where all the trash is stored which causes contamination. Altogether, in our city there is a lot of garbage increasing landfills that make our community not clean and cause problems to our health.  Possible solutions to solving this conflict are making garbage disposals and signs more common in our area as well as being stricter with the littering tolerance. There have been many attempts to clean up New York City but none of them really worked out and it seems that we have been going downhill ever since the pandemic.  There are many simple solutions to fix this and we can easily clean up our trash with a few trash cans here and there and storage space.  One solution presented was, “launch the Clean Curbs program. This is a pilot program for commercial waste collection where entities like Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) can apply for the opportunity to have sealed, on-street containers for their trash and recycling storage”(Kaushal, 2021) Basically, there have been many smaller programs going around and they have been adding around on-street trash cans for their own trash and place to store it, and it’s slowly leading up to the nation.  This highlights a simple solution to our big trash problem and how all we really need to do is add more places to store our trash other than the streets.  We can create street containers and storage places instead of the streets.  The text states, “In order to get to zero waste, the city will need to regulate waste disposal. The city should implement a “pay as you throw” trash program, to incentivize residents to change their waste disposal behaviors”(Kaushal, 2021)  We the Queens community request that a fragment of the funds in NYC's budget towards Health, Sanitation, & Environment be given to improve and provide a pristine and secure environment. Currently, there is a meager amount of 5.1 Billion dollars being put towards our health and sanitary safety for our environment. This is too little for the amount of trash that we produce everyday being around 12 tons and many of which end up in the ocean. Many New Yorkers don’t have much quick and easy access too trash cans and don’t have enough time to spend cleaning up trash due to the lack of effort put into our sanitation. Adding more garbage cans and being stricter with littering rules would help our community clean up after itself. We should take care of our home like it is a part of us. Our environment is like an extension to us, it shows us how we live and a lot can be said by looking at a place.

    Petition to Chief Minister Nagaland

    Kids want a Greener Cleaner Kohima City

    Hi. My name is Jentina Yaomei Shangkhu. I am 12 years old and I am a citizen of Kohima. I am starting this petition on behalf of the kids of Kohima. It is so sad that we kids dont have any green spaces or parks to play in my city. We play indoors or in the streets. I see garbage and pollution everywhere and this makes me really sad. People dont take kids seriously and dont listen to what we have to say, but we are the ones who will be living here tomorrow so I think we should have a right to be heard. This is why I want to start this petition to show that the children of Nagaland have the right to live in  clean, green cities that provides them with spaces to play and enjoy their childhood. I on behalf of the kids of Kohima would like to request our Chief Minister to please make more parks for us or at least revive the few we once had like the Zoo, Botanical Garden, Highland park etc.   Dont just leave us with your memories and your stories of a beautiful Kohima. Leave us with a beautiful Kohima.

    Petition to Wrexham County Borough Council, Johnstown dump

    Cleaner air in Johnstown Wrexham

    Johnstown landfill, used to dump the waste from Merseyside residents, has been stinking for quite some time. Many years ago a solicitor was appointed to try and deal with the issues of fumes emanating from the site but in recent years the smell has returned. On certain days the smell can be detected as far as the top of Pen Y Cae. Something needs to be done about the smell. For the mental and physical health of those living in the vicinity having to endure days, weeks, months and years of polluted rancid smelling air. The vulnerable amongst us and those who are unable to leave their homes are the most affected, is this fair that babies, the elderly and the infirm are having to live with this day in day out without a break from it while visiting other areas?  I believe that many in the area have become accustomed to it, or have never known life without the smell when it comes to the younger generation. But do you remember when living rural was seen as healthy? People had clean air to breathe, people visited villages and would comment about how fresh everywhere smelled. Many would talk on tv about how they would love to live a rural life, but this is far from that idyllic view. Do we want the next generation to know nothing but polluted air? Please sign this petition to try and give Wrexham county council a kick to tackle this issue once and for all. As a group we are stronger!   Thanks

    Cleaner Air in Cedar

    Residents and citizens living in the Cedar Creek and Cedar Lakes, Fourways area are exposed to intolerable amounts of smoke pollution from neighboring areas. It has now reached a point where their health and lifestyle is being impacted. We request that this environmental issue be dealt with, before the impact on the environment and the health of residents is impacted to the point that the damage is irreversible. The burning of waste in informal settlements needs to be replaced by better service delivery to these settlements.
