Are you looking for petitions for environmental protection, sustainability, animal welfare and social justice? Then this overview is just right for you. Petitions are more than just collecting signatures! They educate people and raise awareness of the social grievances and ecological challenges of our time.
Here I would like to introduce you to the sustainable petitions that I have signed and am happy to share with you and other readers. On the one hand, because I support them 100 percent with my personal values. And secondly, because their goals protect animals and the environment and make our lives together fairer and more sustainable.
