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 |
|---|---|---|
| 278 | Alastair | If our government were to set an example by influencing a reduction in air travel then other nations might follow. What other option is there to protect our fragile atmosphere? |
 |
||
| 277 | Deborah Robinson | With the potential for worldwide disasters due to increasing global warming, we should be aiming to reduce emissions from air travel, not increasing air transport. |
|
||
| 276 | Jason Kitcat | Senselessly allowing air travel to expand is a recipe for disaster. Of course economically we cannot stop all planes flying but we should make the cost of flying reflect the true price the environment pays (including sleepless people below flight paths). If there was true pricing expansion wouldn't be a worry! |
|
||
| 275 | Dave Walsh | a expansion should be stopped and tax added to avaiation fuel. This would raise �9B. and this money should be used to give tax breaks to public tranport that used energy from renewals sources ie train that use electricty from renewable sources. |
|
||
| 274 | Cherry Allan | Apart from the various personal actions suggested, I have resolved never to fly anywhere myself ever again. Didn't like it much anyway. What's wrong with a train journey for the hols? Why won't the Govt support the railways properly? Wouldn't this be far, far preferable to fawning all over a mode that has the potential to harm us all? |
|
||
| 273 | Feli | I oppose further airport expansion due to : its adverse impact on local people, air quality and the landscape (including wildlife habitats), and its acceleration of climate change. I believe the true cost of all air travel should be reflected in higher fares and a tax on fuel. I support the RCEP, the Environment Audit Committee and the Sustainable Development Commission`s opposition to airport expansion plans. |
|
||
| 272 | Michael Sackin | I'm against frying the planet, destruction of habitats, noise, light pollution. I'm for sustainability, communities, tranquillity. |
|
||
| 271 | Matt | Do not damage our environment, do not put money and convinience above quality of life. |
|
||
| 270 | Elwyn Sharps | Air travel is extremely bad for the environment, as are airports. With the technology we have today we could easily come up with environmentally friendly transport solutions, so why not invest money in that instead? |
|
||
| 269 | Clare H | I am opposed to the expansion of airports because of the heavy pollution from fumes and noise which this small country cannot support. Air travel is also very costly to the environment, and as with arguments against road expansion, you could go on building more and more and never satisfy demand. |
