Pledge Against Airport Expansion

Sign the Pledge

A Pledge of Personal Opposition to Airport Expansion

" I am strongly opposed to the Government's plans for airport expansion. I agree with the many others opposing this policy:

• the environmental scientists who warn of the severe impacts of air transport on global climate change and local air quality;
• the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, the Environmental Audit Committee, and the Sustainable Development Commission, which strongly oppose the expansion plans;
• the many independent organisations, transport experts and respected think-tanks, which make the case for reducing demand and promoting the potential of rail;
• the local residents defending their houses, lands, and communities.

In the event that the Government chooses to ignore this widespread and well-informed opposition, and refuses to back away from its expansion policy, I will take personal action to block airport expansion and to prevent companies from supporting and funding it. "
