Speak up for an end to peat sales
Your peatlands need you! Every day that passes without an end to peat sales means more precious habitats destroyed and more carbon released into our atmosphere.
Right now, the Horticultural Peat (Prohibition of Sale) Bill is making its way through Parliament, with a Second Reading on 4th July January 2025. But it won’t make progress without the support of a wide range of MPs – and that’s where you come in.
PLEASE WRITE TO YOUR MP TODAY! Tell them that you want this legislation to end the sale of peat for horticulture.
