| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 173 | nim | can't we invest in the other options? |
 |

| 172 | Emily | We can't let the aviation industry keep growing like it is doing now - it's not sustainable, there will come a point where the whole thing crashes and we really should do something before it gets to that stage as then it will be too late. Aviation is such a key componant in this issue, this needs to be thought about carefully. |

| 171 | lu | I am extremely worried about the effects of climate change. I am aware that air travel is a huge contributer to 'greenhouse gasses'. The British government should be doing more to slow the process of global warming, not add to it by encouraging unnecessary air travel. |
|
||
| 170 | Ruth Crossman | Locally, nationally and globally we will reap a whirlwind if we do not cut back on polluting air travel, and invest instead in more sustainable means of transport eg trains. |
|
||
| 169 | Paul Simpson | Given the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions any airport expansion would seem to me to be a grave error. |
|
||
| 168 | rich lott | in a week where positive feedback loops relating to climate change have even made the BBC news, we really need to take a serious look at where we're going, and how! |
|
||
| 167 | Fiona Veira | Much as I love travelling i am aware of the damage that flights cause to the environment and hence, eventually, to the economy. Better management of the existing resources would be a better idea. |
|
||
| 166 | Heidi | I am opposed to airport expansion because of the well documented impact on the global environment and the damage that this expansion does to remaining wildlife habitats in the UK. The government should act to curb this damage and ensure that the cost of air travel reflects its environmental impact. Since I've become aware of these issues, I have stopped travelling by air. I enjoy flying but have not used a plane for several years now. Individuals who are concerned about global warming should avoid air travel unless it is absolutely necessary. We can't complain about airport expansion and then take our summer holidays on the other side of the planet... |

| 165 | gg. | do we really need nextday delivery of night freight ? wouldn't the costs of items be cheaper if we didn't have to pay night rates? make manufacture local , not global. then there would be more jobs in the community. more than ever there would just employed at an airport. |

| 164 | Marit Heps� | Climate change requires action now! |
