Pledge Against Airport Expansion
Read the Pledges
Below is the name and personal statement of opposition to airport expansion of everyone who has signed the pledge.
| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 906 | Simon | Airport expansion is not going to help meet climate change goals. Do we need to expand the use of air travel at the expense of our health and environment? |
 |
||
| 905 | Dawn Bishop | The price of flights needs to reflect the damage caused through emmissions, noise and disruption to environments. Getting away from the noise of road traffic is quite a feat in the South East. Expansion of airports will make finding a quiet spot near impossible. |
|
||
| 904 | Jacqui | The expansion of UK airports I think is completely unreasonable givent that aviation is such a huge contributer to climate change - going ahead with these plans are a contradiction of promises by the government to fight climate change. If money is going into public transport, I would suggest that there are far more pressing areas where improvement would be more beneficial. |
|
||
| 903 | Alphacento | Enough is enough. let's stop useless pollution now!! |
|
||
| 902 | Anna | The government should stop being petrified of the air lobby and make airlines pay for their environmental damage by taxing fuel. This would curb the growth in air travel and slow down climate change - the biggest environmental threat we are facing. |
|
||
| 901 | Hilary Blake | we need to explore real alternatives to air transport now! |
|
||
| 900 | Timothy Mark Pollington | The government should no longer waive tax on aviation fuel.Additionally there should be a �40 tax on anyperson travelling from London to Paris or Brussels. It is clearly environmentally ireesponsible when Eurostar can take you there instead. |
|
||
| 899 | Tobo | I'm signing up to this pledge because I believe that the countryside and wildlife should not be sacrificed for longer runways. The residents should not have to put up with aircraft noise at night. I may not be with this campaign much all of the time but I still hope I can persuade the greedy government and the airport authority to change their minds. |
|
||
| 898 | David Naismith | I am signing this pledge because I believe that the expansion of airports and the airline industry is the greatest threat to our environment, through increased use of natural resources, increased noise and unsustainable land use. Action should be taken to limit and reduce, not encourage the unrestricted burning of fossil fuels. |
