UK Parliament
By Sally Nex, Peat-free Partnership
Over the coming weeks, your local parliamentary candidates will be knocking on your door hoping to win your vote. This is an opportunity for you to let each one know what’s important to you: and if that’s a peat-free future for gardening, please tell them so!
You can also write to your local candidates and ask them to sign our Peat Pledge to support bringing in the Bill at the earliest opportunity should they be elected. The more MPs in the next Parliament who back the Bill, the sooner we can end peat use in horticulture and move forward into a brighter, more sustainable future for our gardens, the horticultural industry and the environment.
We are so close to getting legislation done: there’s a draft Bill ready to go, and all we need is a new government to pick it up and finish the job. With your help, we can make sure as many new MPs as possible, right across the political spectrum, are ready to back the Bill – so this time, at last, peat can stay in the ground for good.
Don’t delay – get emailing today and help us protect our precious peatlands!
