The digestive processes of animals and animal slurry both release methane gas, which is 23 times more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. Huge areas of the Amazon are cut down, which releases carbon dioxide, to grow animal feed crops. Animal manure decomposition, and fertilisers for the vast amounts of animal feed crops, create nitrous oxide gas, which is 296 times more potent than carbon dioxide.\r\n\r\nTherefore, I would like the government to subsidise animal-free food as it is more ecologically sound than meat, dairy and eggs.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2011-08-18T17:38:59.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:03.999Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-09-02T12:49:19.000Z","closed_at":"2012-09-02T12:49:19.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-18T17:38:59.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":30372,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/30372.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"UK to conditionally leave the EU","background":null,"additional_details":"The UK should leave the EU unless Germany and the northern EU countries leave the Euro, thus allowing France and the Southern EU counties to become more competitive, simultaneously preventing further problems in Greece.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2012-02-25T20:58:01.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:58.518Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-02-27T15:12:38.000Z","closed_at":"2013-02-27T15:12:38.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-02-25T20:58:01.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":30498,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/30498.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"LETS END CHILD SOLDIERS","background":null,"additional_details":"We are Campaigning against the use of children as soldiers in armed conflict and war. we found out that it is a global issue and more than 50% of people are unaware of it and the government hasn't taken any severe action against it or to stop it.\r\n It is an everyday issue and children 7- 18 all over the world are being forced to fight in their countries wars instead of getting an education.
