1. Bring Paul McCartney to tour Australia! 
Paul McCartney has not toured Australia since 1993... and his 2003 tour of Australia was cancelled!
2. Save Ringo Starr's Liverpool Childhood Home
The former Liverpool home of Ringo Starr is likely to be demolished by Liverpool Council.
Ringo Starr, whose real name is Richard Starkey, was born in 10 Madryn Street in Liverpool on 7 July 1940. His family lived there for only three months before moving the short distance to Admiral Grove.
Although he only spent a short time living in Madryn Street, Ringo returned regularly during his childhood as members of his family continued to live there.
3. Please Paul Come Back to Mexico
Paul McCartney had been in Mexico in 1993 and in 2002, but it's time to come back!!!
4. Meat Free Monday In Hong Kong
(English translation at bottom)
我們敦促香港政府，特別是行政長官曾蔭權與環境局局長邱騰華JP以及其他的環境和動物保護組織︰
我們正面臨空前的全球暖化，各國傳媒均廣泛報導，氣候變遷日益嚴重，已經引起地球上多個國家受到不同程度的經濟損失甚至人命傷亡，天災相繼出現，令所有個人以及整個社會都受到威脅，各國政府間相繼採取措施希望能減輕全球暖化的影響。
現在已有更多人意識到畜牧業不僅帶來疾病，同時也造成氣候變遷。
根據聯合國糧農組織2006年標題為”畜牧業巨大陰影” (Livestock's Long Shadow) 的報告. 糧農組織發現畜牧生產佔溫室氣體總排放量的18%，包括全球9%的二氧化碳排放量 , 37%的甲烷(CH4), 65%的氧化亞氮(N2O)，氧化亞氮這種溫室氣體對全球暖化的影響效應相當於二氧化碳的296倍。
又根據2008年一份研究報告結論指出，生產2.2磅牛肉所產生的排碳量，相等於一輛中型歐洲房車行駛155英哩的排碳量，等量的能源足夠可以點亮100瓦的燈泡約20天。
諾貝爾獎得主聯合國跨政府氣候變遷小組主席帕卓里博士聲明︰“請減少肉食,肉是排碳量高度密集的商品。...” “個人所能採取減少碳排量的唯一行動就是素食。”
基於肉類對環境的衝擊，我們必需減少消費這種排碳量高度密集的商品，做為解決氣候變遷危機的高效率對策。本次請願呼籲香港官員們立即採取行動，展現香港對抗氣候變遷的承諾。
香港金融經濟發達，沒有畜牧業，並不代表不需要對氣候變遷負責，需知道富裕的香港人食用大量的禽畜由外地進口，加上市民對食物有過度浪費的習慣，我們多少也要為受到氣候變遷影響的國家負一點責任。
作為一個負責任的政府，我們應該效法比利時的根特市政府，採取行動鼓勵市民降低碳足跡，已經決定要求市民每週一天無肉，而每週四將會是 “無肉日”。
我們需要向政府官員表達，香港有必要推廣「禁肉星期一」。我們希望政府能夠推動每個星期一作為 “香港市民不吃肉食製品日” 來保護環境並遏阻全球暖化。
所以，請簽署這份請願書，並將其轉發給您的朋友和家人！我們需要每個人的力量支持﹗
5. Meat Free Mondays in European Union Countries & the United Kingdom (UK)
The impact of livestock on human health, the environment, world grain and water security and climate change has never been more clear.
With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stressing our planetary peril with ever increasing urgency, the recognition of the significant role of factory farming in the genesis of swine flu, and new research by the Global Humanitarian Forum (GHF) stating that 315,000 people per year die as a result of climate change (with another 325 million affected), it is time to let our leaders know that we are ready to do anything we can to alleviate these crises and help the world.
By pledging to keep Mondays Meat-free, we can make a sure start. Join Sir Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney as they too are promoting Meat Free Monday to encourage people to avoid meat once a week. Check out Sir Paul's message here: http://www.supportmfm.org/
END WORLD HUNGER
If you want to stop 1 billion people from going hungry each day; If you want to stop the needless deaths taking place every 5 seconds due to starvation then a vegan lifestyle is the solution to solve these dier diet-driven situations resulting from the inefficient use of resources directed towards animal agriculture. Grain currently fed to livestock is enough to feed ２ billion people. According to a recent report by Compassion in World Farming, "[c]rops that could be used to feed the hungry are instead being used to fatten animals raised for food." It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh.
Let's show the UK government and the European Union that we are ready and willing to act, and support the Earth saving and humanitarian concept of Meat-free Mondays.
This petition will be forwarded to Gordon Brown and to influential members of DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs) in the UK plus the President of the European Parliament, the President of the European Commission, the Directorate-General for the Environment (of the European Commission) and the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection (of the European Commission).
The Meat Free Mondays petition in the European Union and the United Kingdom (UK) asking UK & Gordon Brown, DEFRA as well as the President of the European Parliament, the President of the European Commission, the Directorate-General for the Environment (of the European Commission) and the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection (of the European Commission) to support Meat-free Mondays was written by Concerned_Citizen and is hosted free of charge at GoPetition.
Romanian translation:
Scop: Să-i ceară primului ministru Gordon Brown din Anglia, DEFRA şi la fel şi Uniunii Europene să sprijine iniţiativa Ziua de Luni fără Carne!
Impactul zootehniei asupra sănătăţii umane, mediului, producţiei de grâne a lumii şi securităţii apei nu a fost niciodată aşa de evident.
În timp ce Panelul Interguvernamental pentru Schimbarea Climei stresează cu şi mare urgenţă riscul planetei noastre, recunoaşterea rolului semnificativ al fermelor industriale în geneza gripei porcine, alături de cercetări noi de la Forumul Global Umanitar (GHF) care arată că 315.000 de oameni mor anual din cauza schimbării climei (alături de alţi 320 milioane afectaţi), este timpul acum să le spunem liderilor noştri că noi suntem gata să facem orice ca să ameliorăm aceste crize şi să ajutăm lumea.
Prin a promite să ţinem Lunea Fără Carne, noi punem bazele unui început sigur. Veniţi alături de Sir Paul, Mary şi Stella McCartney care promovează Lunea Fără Carne, ca să încurajeze oamenii să nu consume carne o zi pe săptămână. Urmăriţi mesajul lui Paul McCartney aici: http://www.supportmfm.org/
PUNEŢI CAPĂT FOAMETEI ÎN LUME
Dacă vreţi să opriţi 1 miliard de oameni să sufere de foame zilnic, dacă vreţi să opriţi decesele inutile care au loc la fiecare 5 secunde din cauza foametei, atunci un stil de viaţă de post (vegan) este soluţia pentru a rezolva aceste situaţii fatale din cauza alimentaţiei, care duc la folosirea ineficientă a resurselor, care sunt îndreptate spre agricultura animală. Grânele date acum animalelor sunt suficiente ca să hrănească 2 miliarde de oameni. După un raport recent de la Compasiunea în Fermele Lumii: “recoltele care ar putea fi folosite să-i hrănească pe cei înfometaţi, sunt folosite în schimb la îngrăşarea animalelor crescute pentru carne.” Se cer aproape 8 kg de grâne să produci aproape 0,5kg de carne de animal comestibilă.
Haideţi să le arătăm guvernelor din Anglia şi din Uniunea Europeană că noi suntem gata şi dorim să acţionăm şi să sprijinim idea umanitară şi salvatoare al lumii - „Lunea Fără Carne”.
Această petiţie va fi trimisă primului ministru Gordon Brown şi membrilor cu influenţă din DEFRA (Departamentul Afacerilor Rurale, ale Mediului şi Hranei) din Anglia, Preşedintelui Parlamentului European, Preşedintelui Comisiei Europene, Directoratului General pentru Mediu (din Comisia Europeană) şi Directoratului General pentru Sănătate şi Protecţia Consumatorului (din Comisia Europeană).
Daţi glas voinţei voastre şi fiţi primii din prietenii voştri care să semnaţi!

6. Boycott McDonald's for Using Paul McCartney's Picture Against His Wishes
Everything you need to know was already mentioned on the video and further elaborated on in the articles/videos that were linked to in the description. Please watch it if you already haven't:

Here are some additional Quotes from Paul himself (from a 1992 article), asserting his beliefs in relation to his life-changing decision to become a Vegetarian:
"You want your chicken pre-packed and clean; women do not want to stuff their hands up into a chicken and pull out the giblets. People try to hide the fact that they are actually eating something that had a face and a heart, something that had a soul."
-Paul McCartney
"And that's another tradition; in most of the books you read it holds that animals don't have souls - that's something I don't agree with. I think it's so pompous of mankind to pronounce that. What? Has somebody got inside an animal's head and found out?"
-Paul McCartney
••••••••••••Consequences upon McDonald's failure to respond••••••••••••
-Your business will suffer of course. Beatle fans will either stop buying your meat products or stop buying from you altogether.
More information:
•What's the aim?
-However many signatures we could get. The smaller the exposure, the fewer signatures we'll have. Don't let this be the sole testament to how many people would actually support this.
•What happens afterwards?
-Once there are enough signatures to make an impact, I will send this petition to Paul's official website or other sources that will be able to make proper use of it. Thank you :)
