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 |
|---|---|---|
| 822 | cheryl buxton | climate change is the biggest threat to humanity, |
 |
||
| 821 | Liz Dalton | I would like to stop airport expansion because I believe it is a major contributory factor for global warming. |
|
||
| 820 | phil hind | don't clogg up our sky |
|
||
| 819 | Geoff Davies | I object to the UK Government's continued subsidy of the aviation industry in a time of climate change. This �9billion/year exemption from tax on aviation fuel, VAT on air tickets and duty free airport shopping should be stopped. The increased cost of air travel would curb its growth and remove the need for airport expansion. The extra revenue generated should be spent on renewable energy projects. |
|
||
| 818 | Ross | If we don't stop destroying the environment which supports us, our species will not survive. It's as simple as that. |
|
||
| 817 | Eleanor Davies | I oppose airport expansion for reasons of impact on global climate change. But there are economic reasons too. A survey on the effects of the expansion of Nottingham (East Midlands)Airport revealed it had a negative effect on the local economy. The Passenger Terminal is used by people flying away for holidays - not arriving to spend their money here, while the freight terminal brings more imports. Who will get the economic benefits of airport expansion? Not us, and certainly not the climate. |
|
||
| 816 | Ben Davies | We can't keep destroying our environment, never mind increase the rate of destruction. I have a strong feeling that this large collection of individuals and organisations will have to take action before the government who represents them will listen... But thanks to this fantastic pledge, (non-violent) action shall be taken and the government will have something other than corporate lobbying to listen to. Good luck all! |
|
||
| 815 | Sharon Cromwell | I like a lot of people, travel by air. The very low costs make it an easy economic decision. However, I recognise that the decision to fly must be made harder through the introduction of emission taxes so that people can find alternative ways to travel. The focus should be on reducing short flights and encouraging public transport use. There is no need to fly national flights in a country the size of Britain |
|
||
| 814 | Andrew | I am strongly opposed to airport expansion - mainly because of the severe impacts on climate change. |
|
||
| 813 | Genevieve White | Air travel is noisy, pollutant and usually unnecessary. I oppose airport expansion and intend to take direct action to put a halt to it. Skies are for birds! |
