Petition power!
Do you want to campaign for change?
Everyone CAN make a difference and you don’t need to donate money or volunteer. You simply need to sign a petition online. Here are a few active campaigns from the internet …
Say NO to orca shows
We should ban the use of orcas for entertainment. We believe that these intelligent, sociable animals should not be in captivity. We’d like people to boycott the shows and sign our petition. Please support our cause!
SAVE sea turtles on CON DAO island
We want to protest about the commercial hunting of turtles for their shells and the pollution in their natural habitat. We aim to raise awareness about sea turtle conservation on Con Dao Island, Viet Nam.
We love ugly fruit!
Supermarkets reject 20 - 40% of fruit and vegetables because they aren’t ‘perfect’. We propose that supermarkets sell ‘ugly’ fruit and vegetables at a lower price. Help us end food waste and allow more people to buy cheap, healthy food. Please support our campaign.

And I've got a photo of my cousins in Australia. They've got a pet parrot. His name's Sinbad and he's really popular with my cousins' friends. We haven't got a pet.
