Save our Forests

Posted by Melodie Munro on November 10, 2010 at 3:31pm
Dear Friend,Brilliant! Our Save our Forests petition is growing really fast. Almost 35,000 of us have signed in less than a week. Our campaign is growing so fast it's getting talked about in the national papers. [1]We’re proving that the public doesn’t want our forests sold off. If enough of us get involved in this campaign, we can make the government back down.Now we need to prove we are not just a flash in the pan. Let’s aim to get past 50,000 signatures this week. That will show the government this campaign is going to keep growing until they change their plans.Please can you help protect forests for wildlife and future generations by asking more people to sign the petition?Please forward this e-mail and ask your friends to sign by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-forestsIf you use Facebook, please also share the petition on your profile by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/forests-facebook-shareIf you use Twitter, please also send a “Tweet” about the petition by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/forests-twitter-shareAncient forests like the Forest of Dean and Sherwood Forest are national treasures. Once they’re gone, they are lost forever. A huge petition will force the government to rethink. If we can prove how strongly thousands of us are against this, we can make them back down.Please help spread the word in every way you can.Thanks for being involved,David, Hannah, Johnny and the 38 Degrees teamP.S. Getting lots of signatures on the petition is the most important thing we can do right now to get this campaign going. But we need to think too about future plans. Do you have other ideas or suggestions for what else we can do together to Save Our Forests?

This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and destroyed. Walkers and endangered animals, like red squirrels and owls, would have to make way for Center Parcs-style holiday villages, golf courses, and logging companies. [1]We need to stop these plans. Ancient forests like the Forest of Dean and Sherwood Forest are national treasures - once they’re gone, they are lost forever. A huge petition will force the government to rethink. If we can prove how strongly thousands of us are against this, we can make them back down.Please click here to add your name to a petition saying “save our forests”:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-forestsThe government needs to get new laws through Parliament before these plans can go ahead. That means we have time to stop them. If we build a huge petition, we will prove that the public doesn’t want precious woodland to be flogged off. That will make MPs think twice about voting for it.When we work together, we can stop the government from forcing through these kind of bad plans. They probably think that with all the focus on cuts, no-one will have time to spare to speak up for forests. 38 Degrees members know how to work on more than one issue at once. We’re already standing up for the NHS and the BBC. We’re winning our fight against the massive cow factory farm in Lincolnshire. Now let’s stand up for Britain’s ancient forests together, before it’s too late and they’re gone for good.Please help build the pressure before it’s too late. Add your name to our “save our forests” petition:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-forestsThanks for being involved,David, Hannah, Johnny and the 38 Degrees teamP.S. If we can build a big enough petition quickly enough, we can get the government to drop these plans right now.
