Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 21 July 2025, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 11 members in total.


Green House Climate Club campaign

That this House congratulates the Green House Climate Club in St Albans, including students from Margaret Wix Primary School, Abbey Primary School, Prae Wood Primary School and Cunningham Hill Schools for their advocacy and campaigning to prevent plastic pollution by publishers and retailers of childrens’ magazines and comics; commends their work to promote the national Kids Against Plastic tat campaign; recognises that the cheap plastic toy giveaways and plastic film wrapping used by some publishers of magazines are rarely recycled, often end up in landfill, being incinerated, or otherwise being littered in our environment; agrees that positive change by publishers and retailers to end unnecessary plastic tat can play a part in our fight against plastic pollution and the climate crisis; calls on Tesco Chief Executive Ken Murphy to meet with the Green House Climate Club members to receive their petition; and further calls on Tesco, other major supermarkets and newsagents to follow the example of Waitrose who responded to national petitions by stopping selling magazines with plastic toys.
