We're asking for one thing that will provide clarity to an industry that's faced constant delays. Legislation is needed to give the #horticulture industry a timeline for phasing out #peat. Sign the petition for legislation in 2026: https://actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sales/#horticulture

Buying loved ones #houseplants for #Christmas? 🌴🌿💐 Choose carefully: almost all houseplants are grown in #peat. If you're not sure, always ask before buying. Wish you didn't have to worry? Sign our petition to ask govt to make all plants #peatfree actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat. Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'. Get on with it already! Sign the petition: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

"They need more ambition." Baroness Brown @ #BBCToday on need to ramp up adaptation for 2+ degrees of warming. Meanwhile #emissions from #peat extraction continue. Industry efforts to go #peatfree are unmatched by Gov. willingness to legislate. #EndPeatSales www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We welcome the expansion of the ban on burning to protect more of the UK's deep peat. But #Labour must go further to join up policy by committing to legislation to #EndPeatSales - in 2023 761,479 m3 was used for horticulture. Level the playing field and hit a win-win for #Nature and #Horticulture!

"But you can't grow XYZ peat-free!" Wrong.

It's 17 July, and our #Peat extraction counter has surpassed half a million cubic metres. ⚠️ #DEFRA have yet to release the Growing Media Monitor peat use stats, so our data is from 2022 - three years of unknowns. #Horticulture is changing, but legislation is necessary to deliver a #PeatFree UK.
