Discuss in Parliament - The Clay Treaty for conservation
For every US$1/£1 spent by Governments or Corporations on Space research/ travel they spend the same amount on conservation projects.
Mars One estimated cost at US$4 Billion - for a patch of desert on Mars. Another US$6 billion is earmarked to put 4 men on Mars.

I propose a new CLAY treaty that makes all governments and corporations sign up to make a commitment that for every $1 spent on space exploration/space tourism they spend US$1 on conservation. We know NASA space research helps the World, but just spend the same amount on conservation of what we have already here on Earth.
The super-rich will not be remembered for their vanity space projects – but more if they put it where it is needed on Earth.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a matter for the United States Government.
We could accept a petition that calls for a similar approach for any UK Government spending on space research and travel.
