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 |
|---|---|---|
| 528 | Sarah E. M. Clarke | Is it fantasy to ask that the priority, for once, is the planet and not commerce? I hope not. Whatever the arguments for airport expansion are, the merest degree of common sense states that there are far more important things. |
 |

| 527 | Robert Westerwijk | It is time that especially no frills airlines take up the responsibility to pay tax and pay for damages to the environment, but first of all this is a policy which should be initiated by the government. Then only we can see the real cost of travelling by air. With subsidised air travelling the UK will never meet its target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. It is time that this government puts its actions where its mouth is. |
|
||
| 526 | Rich Shore | Building infrastructure for more flights serves the interests of big business and construction. The idea that it is essential for the economy and so that we can all go off to Spain for a week every year should be seen as essentially industy propoganda. For a society, economy, and environment run by and for ordinary people, we should stop airport expansion. |
|
||
| 525 | Tina | When we hear so much about about global warming, the effects of climate change and the need for a reduction in carbon emissions if these problems are to be averted, airport expansion does not seem to be a logical priority. I believe that resources would be better spent on more sustainable development projects. |
|
||
| 524 | Jamie Clarke | Lets stop this needless expansion that is destroying our local and global environment |
|
||
| 523 | Dan Robertson | I object strongly to the apparent government policy of supporting commercial interests above the basic human right to clean air, through the massive expansion of this country's airports. I would urge a rethink of its priorities, or it should face the consequences. |
|
||
| 522 | Darren McGuinness | NO to airport expansion! End direct and indirect subsidies to the airline industry and make air-travel subject to true-cost economics. |
|
||
| 521 | Freda Mishan | |
|
||
| 520 | Janie | I just don't understand why so many people actively destroy the earth, knowing full well what it is that they are doing. There is absolutely no need for this kind of destruction and I would like to stand up and demand that this stops. Airport expansion is a terrible thing for the earth, and shouldn't be permitted let alone encouraged. |
|
||
| 519 | Peter Hale | The government can only be taken seriously on its stated policy of urgent action against climate change if it reverses its policy on airport expansion. |
