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 |
|---|---|---|
| 344 | Scott | Stopping gov. subsidies to the aviation industry and start taxing aviation fuel. The cost of air travel would increase to its true level. |
 |
||
| 343 | Julie Dawe | We have to understand that now is the time to act against further environmental degradation - and even now it may be too late. The consequences are too severe to contemplate - we neeed to stop putting spurious economic growth before essential environmental action. |
|
||
| 342 | Howard W Berry | The government says it wants to take action against climate change but also plans to double air travel � the most damaging form of transport - over the next twenty years. This is why I am opposed to airport expansion. |
|
||
| 341 | GK | Air travel/aviation fuel is a serious pollution contributor, it needs to be curtailed. Airports are sprawling eyesores, eating into our countryside |
|
||
| 340 | Pauline Hocking | Global warming is affecting the human race and all other species on the planet now. There has never been a greater threat to both human survival and, if there is runaway global warming, to all life on the planet. To consider airport expansion, given this scenario, is not just backward, it is insane. Anyone with courage, a brain and a heart should oppose it. |
|
||
| 339 | Peter Gray | The increase in air travel is unnecessary and unsustainable. I will take action to reduce further proliferation of air travel. |
|
||
| 338 | Barney Smith | All fossil fuel should be taxed at a high rate, airline fuel even more so, since airlines cater for those with spare money above essential needs. |
|
||
| 337 | CB | We don't need more airports. Climate change is already upon us and air pollution, noise pollution and environment destruction will greatly increase. Greater emphasis must be made for local personal travel, and long distance electronic communication. I am prepared to take non-direct action to stop airport expansion. |
|
||
| 336 | Miss Josie Whitney | As an active member of The Green Party I am directly opposed to the Government's airpost expansion plans, especially as it directly contradicts their pledge to tackle climate change. If the Government does not back down on its expansion plan I will use all of my power and energies to campaign against airport expansion - by supporting those existing organisations lobbying government with both my time and finacial aid, as well as working to raise awareness in my local area and encouraging mass demonstatration against airport expansion. |
|
||
| 335 | JCR | I beleive there are solutions to tackling this problem, and other forms of technology can be exploited in order to reduce air travel, and the noise and environemental pollution it causes. |
