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 |
|---|---|---|
| 639 | karl | Its time to make a stand for the sake of everyone on this planet. Airport expansion is taking us in the wrong direction, and adding to global warming. people and planet, not profits and pollution |
 |
||
| 638 | Janet Goose | Airports are unnecessarily covering our countryside. We need less planes not more - a tax should be placed on fuel to help save the environment. |
|
||
| 637 | Wendy Few | I will financially support Friends of the Earth and I will only vote for a candidate who opposes the airport expansion. |
|
||
| 636 | Laila | I am stongly against the airport expansion - do the government want to ruin the world with pollution?! They may think that airport expansion is going to benefit us - but infact it will kill us and kill our world! |
|
||
| 635 | David Meanwell | The airline industry is one of the major contributors to global warming and the situation is exacerbated by government subsidies in the form of nil taxation. We don't need more airports or the expansion of existing airports. Rather, the government should be taxing the industry and encouraging airlines to invest in environmental protection measures. |
|
||
| 634 | Anna Trafford | I do not understand when we know that 'predict and provide' policies don't work and are facing the consequences for doing this for car travel why politicians are choosing to do the same for air travel? I will not vote for any politician who chooses to support these insane, unworkable policies. |
|
||
| 633 | Kate | If we carry on as we are, there will be nowhere worth flying to. How about investing in alternative modes of transport that don't seriously impact on the environment? |
|
||
| 632 | Zoe | I think the money being earmarked for airport expansion would be better earmarked for research and development into more eco-friendly forms of travel and organisational development research in to how we might transport more people using the air stock and facilities we already have i.e. could some planes be re-designed so cargo holds are smaller for short business trips where people only need hand luggage? |
|
||
| 631 | Mark Claessen | People have to travel, and sometimes air travel is the only viable option. But it should be on a par with other modes of transport, and not receive special tax privileges. Even more worrying is the trend to fly in more and more food from all over the world, some of it competing with locally produced foods. This is madness, and must stop. |
|
||
| 630 | sophie | wouldnt you rather have smaller airports than permanent damage to the climate? the government needs to wake up and realise what they are about to do, not only to the UK, but the whole of Europe and much of Africa and Asia |
