Some tips on how to do it:
 After agreeing on the topic, check if the issue isn’t already covered by an existing petition.
 Do some research on the topic to support the cause.
 Develop a Statement of Purpose - a simple, concise sentence that contains your complaint/demand. Keep it short and to the point.
Example: "Make Covid19 vaccines available for all".
 Add supporting detail by writing a paragraph or two on what you want to change and your reasons that include:
• the nature of the problem;
• why it needs to be fixed;
• a specific call to action that will address the issue.
 Focus on the solution.
Example: "Pay your employees the minimum £15 an hour"
 Communicate urgency.
Example: "Approve life-saving medication for my daughter, before it’s too late"
 Indicate any references, for example, newspaper references or online research, so potential signees will know the information is accurate and powerful.

Petition - Room 5 - Help the homeless people

2021-02-25 11:06:50 UTC

The idea is helping them with shellters and other things. It will provide a better life to them because they wont be homeless anymore. So They will have new opportunities. They will probably have a chance to work that will grow the work power that will enrich the countries.
Then they will be able to create a established/supported family and that will grow the population principal on declining population countries.
There are some homeless people that have drug problems and for them we should first rebalitalize them.
Sign the petition for a better world.

Room 2 - build homes for the homeless

2021-02-25 11:07:23 UTC

  For the Dignity of Human Life 
  According to Human Rights, every human being has the right to a standard of living capable of ensuring health and well-being for himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and essential social services and the right to security in case of unemployment, illness, disability, widowhood, old age or other cases of loss of livelihood in circumstances beyond their control.
  That is why we ask the Government to implement a National Strategy that intervenes in the Human Dignity of People who are homeless. Helping with physical, psychological and social support to motivate integration into society.

Room 6 - Stop selling one-use plastic bags

2021-02-25 11:07:58 UTC

As we all know, plastic and other types of waste have an enormous impact on the environment and all the living beings that inhabit the earth. So, our petition consists on asking for a reduction on the production and commercialization of plastic bags, and replace the plastic they are made of with degradable materials. The production of plastic objects, including bags; wrapping; bottles; straws and others, are incredibly harmful for every single ecosystem on earth, for example: - In the oceans: turtles and other animals mistake plastic waste for food, and they end up choking and dying and no one is able to help them; whales ingest an enormous amount of plastic and they get stuck in the sand. Those problems could be solved if the consumption of plastic objects decreased drastically.

Petition - Room 3 - Reduce Carbon Emissions

2021-02-25 11:08:06 UTC

Carbon emissions contribute to climate change, which can have serious consequences for humans and their environment.
Main carbon emitters:
-burning of fossil fuels
-industry emission
-electricity production
-animal carbon emissions
These carbon emissions raise global temperatures by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere. This alters water supplies and weather patterns, changes the growing season for food crops and threatens coastal communities with increasing sea levels.
According to OurWorldinData.org the global temperatures have risen approximately 1.1℃ since 1850, and we have to keep global temperature "well below" 2℃ above pre-industrial levels.
Air pollution kills more than 7 millions people each year and causes of sickness and absence from work globally.
Demands:
-significant lower taxes for owners of electric cars to encourage them to buy electric cars
-improve public transportation infrastructures (public transportation using electric vehicles)
-allocate a bigger amount of money to organizations for planting new forests
-stop mass deforestations
-invest more in sustainable energy production
-support local farmers to practice ecological agriculture

ROOM 8

PETION FOR RESPECT

Room 7

2021-02-25 11:10:19 UTC

We, the Erasmus students from all around Europe, petition the Erasmus council to let us travel abroad again.

At present, we are participating on Erasmus projects on zoom and google meets, which is a big disatvantage for us.

When we signed up for the projects, we never thought a pandemic would ruin our experience, causing us to gain less knowledge about the projects and causing more anxiety, because we can’t meet eachother, as Erasmus wasn’t only about travelling, it was also about meeting new people, knowing more about the country, gaining more experience for our lives, and getting out of our comfort zone.

We demand this improvement to our students’ highschool experience before the end of april so we could start enjoying Erasmus at it’s best.

PETION FOR RESPECT

Room 4

2021-02-25 11:18:04 UTC

The petitioner calls for the EU to support students during the pandemic,more specifically the students' mental health. With the online school, the students suffered with distance, which brought problems such as depression and anxiety since they felt isolated and had no contact with other people. ,The suicide rate has incresed since covid-19 started and it is harder to get a therapist appointment due to the pandemic restrictions and many students don't have enough money to pay a therapist. Students also went through traumatic situations like not attending to family funeral. For all these reasons, we believe that the EU should intevene.

Room 1

2021-02-25 11:30:34 UTC

The problem is that the old people in poor villages are not the first to be vaccinated and take a long time to be contacted to get the covid vaccine.

- Create associations to go to the poor villages and talk to the old people to be vaccinated since they don´t have internet at their home and there is no way to contact them.
- The government can do something an action like: "Vaccines for those who have difficult communication and are older".
- Governments could use school gymnasiums to create more vaccination centers since schools are closed.
