| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 4761 | Flying is a major and growing contributor to climate change. My personal action, which I plan to continue indefinitely, consists of NEVER FLYING--and believe me, for someone like me who has always enjoyed exotic travel, it isn\'t easy. But I\'ve kept it up since 2005. | |

| 4760 | David | I live in Weston super Mare and in recent months my life has been made a misery by aircraft noise particularly early in the morning when there is little background noise. Aircraft fly over the town from before 6.00 in the morning and after 6.00 seem to fly overhead every 10 to 15 minutes making it impossible to sleep after 6.00. As loud noise also occurs up to 11.30 at night I have found it impossible to get agood night\'s sleep. My house is double glazed but this does not keep out the noise. I have now ordered secndary double glazing for my bedroon which is going to cost nearly £1400. Is it really necessary to route aircraft over the town at these sensitive times? |

| 4759 | Roowyrm | Airport expansion is a fast track to a totally unsustainable future...I am not prepared to sit back and let that happen. |
|
||
| 4758 | Carla | Airport expansion is contrary to the government\'s climate change policies. I know which one I think is more important, and I\'m prepared to act on it. |
|
||
| 4757 | If we\'re passionate about traveling the world, we should be passionate about protecting it too. | |
|
||
| 4756 | wake up to the war of terror on the planet, stop the evils from taking the planet from us any more than has already been done | |
|
||
| 4755 | expanding the airline industry is criminal, the hypocrisy and corruption should and can be exposed. | |
|

| 4754 | In this day and age, the early 2nd millenia, when the threat of Climate Change is an understood and irrefutable scientific fact and many people are campaigning desperately to reduce the levels of C02 out of pure selflessness, the thought of Airport Expansion (airports being one of the biggest emitters of C02) seems completely nonsensical. How human beings can contribute willingly and complicitly to their own destruction is short-sighted and completely beyond my comprehension. There are more important things in life than profit... being able to live safely in the future, for example, without water or food shortages. Also, the creation of a few menial jobs is nothing compared to the long-term disadvantages of high C02 levels. Be cool. Don\'t fly. |

| 4753 | Pippa | How odd that a government supposedly dedicated to reducing emissions continues to invest in air transport -one of the worst contributors to carbon emissions - over more sustainable alternatives. |
|

| 4752 | Peter Griffin | Air travel does not have to play the key role it does in our economy and lives. Rail is an underfunded, neglected and sustainable alternative. |
