Israel is starving 470,000 Palestinians, and moving in troops to occupy Gaza. FIFA is rolling out the red carpet and welcoming Israel to participate in the World Cup. But a brave group of Italian football coaches call on FIFA to suspend Israel from the World Cup!

I just signed this Greenpeace petition to stop supermarkets flooding us with throwaway plastic. Supermarkets have broken their plastic promises — and without pressure, they won’t change. It’s time for the government to step in. Sick of all the plastic? Add your name:
