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 |
|---|---|---|
| 298 | Stephen Dickinson | I feel strongly that many people are travelling with no good reason apart from they can so they will. This is contributing to noise, pollution, danger, destruction of habitat, likewise the destruction of the places we visit, and hence the destruction of the planet. |
 |

| 297 | Patrick Cleary | If the government is serious about addressing climate change, air pollution and congestion it has to put a stop to airport expansion now. |
|
||
| 296 | Katya Holohan | I believe in finding and using environmentally friendly alternatives to air travel. The man at seat61.com proves that there are wonderful ways of travelling around Europe and the world, why don't we use them? Cheap airlines and travel just cheapen the travel experience by assuming that people wasnt A to B *only*. Action should start to prove that travel means interaction, involvement, thought and real places not *non places* like airports. Airports are the kind of non places where all thought, humanity and understanding seem to disappear - it's like spending hours at motorway services in the UK: AWFUL! People should be feeling confident to take the green options, even if for other reasons, and get out there to see the world, rather than flying over it. |

| 295 | Betty Lee | The government should be taxing aircraft fuel, not building airport extensions! |
|
||
| 294 | Nigel Rumsey | I find it hard to believe with the on going concerns about climate change the government is even considering airport expansion, never mind actually going ahead with it. This is madness and something we will all come to regret! |
|
||
| 293 | Mark B. | If airlines were taxed on fuel, as they should be, there would not be sufficient demand to justify expanding airports. |
|
||
| 292 | Nick Lee | I am frightened by the implications of expanding the aviation industry. |
|
||
| 291 | Trickypockets | We should not assume that airport expansion is inevitable. The many thousands of people who will be adversely affected should not be pushed aside as irrelevant in pursuit of yet more cheap flights abroad. I do not want to see even more acres of concrete on the ground and hear even more planes in the sky. Somewhere, all this must stop ! |

| 290 | Aaron | The Government do not care for us nor will they ever as they do not care for the environment all they care for is money it seems and helping corporate terrorists take over the world as for so called terrorism well all that was created by western countries enablign them to have a so called war on terror so they have access all areas to any country for them to steal natural resources and to continue using the rest of the world for cash crops as they always have done. People need to open their eyes and minds this may well be the New World Order. There is only one political party we can trust - The Green Party. Our government will always ignore us (None of us in Europe want GM food but governments put huge corporate terrorists first and support them they like money it makes good sense to them to receive donations, remember who the Biotech Industry are they have a dark past they were the ones who killed millions of innocent people in war camps in WWII and they have never been held accountable so if history repeats its self will we notice?) no matter how many of us protest if it was 40 million they would try to ignore us - so we have to make them listen and we have to get them out - we need to be part of the future we want! |

| 289 | Bill Linton | I oppose airport expansion as air traffic is one of the major causes of global warming, a major threat to civilisation. |
