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 |
|---|---|---|
| 585 | Che sutherland | I oppose further airport expansion because the air travel business is unsustainable in both fuel use and CO2 output. Air travel has been supported when it is vital that other options are implemented instead. |
 |
||
| 584 | Duncan Exley | We urgently need to reduce climate-changing emissions, but the continued "predict and provide" attitude to air traffic is a big step in the wrong direction. there is much that could be done - including imposing a tax on aircraft fuel, improving rail alternatives to internal flights, and encouraging a reduction in unnecessary imports; but most of all stop adding capacity - it only creates pressure to fill that capacity |
|
||
| 583 | Kirsti | Air travel, especially low cost air travel, is becoming increasingly popular at the expense of our environment and health. I am certainly prepared to take action against airport expansion. |
|
||
| 582 | Charlie | |
|
||
| 581 | Brian Burrows | Most of the pollution and is not taxed. The skies are full and an increase could result in accidents. |
|
||
| 580 | John Fawdry | Flying ruins the atmosphere. |
|
||
| 579 | Martyn | Increased air travel is environmentally unsustainable. In this context airport expansion is short termist and destructive. I passionately oppose it. |
|
||
| 578 | Clare Parrish | The current plan for airport and aviation expansion are totally unsustainable - we have a duty to future generations to reduce CO2 and protect the environment. |
|
||
| 577 | Sandie | I think that air-travel is subsidised to the detriment of more sustainable forms of transpot is shockingly irresponsible, encouraging a culture of unecessary long-distance travel. |
|
||
| 576 | Dr. H.P. Livas-Dawes | Airport expansion is environmentally unsound and unsustainable, the ruination of the earth and the air is a result. |
