| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 70 | Netti | I don't need weekend breaks, get-aways, fast trips to wherever, I need space, time, and clean air. And when I travel, I don't want cheap flights, I want fast trains. |
 |
||
| 69 | Bundy Riley | I will not support cheap flights which mask the real cost to the environment and promote unecessary travel. I will take non violent direct action to ensure that the public are made aware of damage caused by airport expansion |
|
||
| 68 | Athena | I am against all kinds of environmental destruction. Please save energy, leave the ozone layer alone, and be considerate. |
|
||
| 67 | Lucie Evans | I strongly oppose the expansion plans and wish to see our government instead fulfilling the potential of our railway systems |
|
||
| 66 | Sarita | With new technology you could create clean fuel planes that take off vertically, which means you don't need long runways for the monstrous 747s (and for the even bigger planes that are coming out). This way you can still save the cabin crew and baggage handler jobs while being green. More money into technology development please. |
|
||
| 65 | Will | I would like to see airlines taxed so that the amount of air travel is reduced, thus reducing the need for airport expansion. Meanwhile, the funds raised from this tax should be used for research and development into cleaner fuels for air travel, there is potential that cleaner fuels could provide faster travel! We have reached the limit with petrol driven engines, travelling to Sydney from London still takes the same amount of time as it did 10 years ago. Please consider preventing airport expansion until cleaner fuels can be used and even then you wouldn't need to expand the airports. |

| 63 | Eka | The noise of aeroplanes overhead is becoming relentless. I feel as strongly about this issue with regard to noise pollution as air pollution and climate change. |
|
||
| 62 | Adam | The Government's sustainable aviation policy is a joke - aviation must be taxed and not subsidised and there needs to be an urgent reduction in the demand for flying. |
|
||
| 61 | Andy Parnell | Having stopped those few in Plaid Cymru who wanted to build an Airport at Llanwern in SE Wales, that party is now back to Clean, Green and Ethical. A 20% tax on Aviation fuel could be used to Make Poverty History by going to our Overseas Development Aid budget. Let the true cost of flying be reflected in the travel price and stop this Corporate Welfare now! |
