| 2441 | Steve Stray | Scientists and anyone with an inch of common sense alike all agree that the current pattern of ecological exploitation and over-indulgence cannot continue: there is no light at the end of this tunnel. and yet, the elites still put big business and the smallest chance of a quick dollar above all else. this must end, and one way or another, it will. |

| 2439 | ruthw | I live under Gatwick's flight path and strongly oppose (on personal grounds!) any expansion of this particular airport. However, given that the price of oil is rapidly heading skywards, the age of cheap, abundant flights may be coming to an end. Expanding any airport ignores both the enormous environmental damage that air travel does, and the impact on communities and individuals beneath ever-widening flight paths. We should accept that until alternative fuel sources are found (if they ever are) air travel is fundamentally unsound, both economically and ecologically. Britain's economy seems to be doing just fine, thank you, without thousands more toxic, deafening flights arriving and leaving every day. Expanding airports will cost taxpayers billions and simply create more short-term profit for private sector companies and their shareholders. Frankly, we've got better things to do with the money! |

| 2438 | Ted Pennings | Corporations need to stop destroying the habitat and our communities. |

| 2437 | gelfling | somewhere we need to draw the line. no more. |

| 2436 | Adam | A campaign of airport expansion is a display of sickening hypocrisy from a government which claims to be concerned with climate change. |
|
||
| 2435 | Simon Foxall | To the Government: Halting airport expansion and raising fares will undoubtedly been seen as a generally unpopular decision as we live in a world of instant, apparantly implication-free gratification, which we want cheaper and cheaper. It is not possible to continue to satisfy those views. We have a responsibility to our world or we WILL KILL IT. There is no counter arguement. |

| 2434 | Vic WJ | airport expansion is contradictory to all agreements and pledges to reduce CO2 emmisions by 2015. Air usage is in large used for relativley well off peoples holidays - not a good enough reason to ruin our planet for all the generations to come. |

| 2433 | tricia wilkinson | "growth is over-rated" " hasn't someone considered the alternatives" |
|

| 2432 | simon robinson | I strongly oppose the propose airport expansion. The airline industry is one of the fastest-growing polluters and CO2 emitters, and if we do not halt this expansion I believe there will be grave environmental consequences. |
