| No. | Name | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| 2499 | Geoff Cox | Stag nights in Vega, day-trippers shopping in Dublin and thousands of unnecessary business meetings in New York - these are the trips which are putting the pressure on for airport expansion. I think we can do without them....no? |

| 2498 | Lauren Hughes | I am a well travelled consumer myself, but I stil recognise that I have a responsibility paying more to fly and avoiding flights when not necessary. I personally believe that all funds received through increases in fiscal measures whether from consumer or corporations, should be ploughed into research and development of less harmful fuels, and into the protection of local environments which are most severely affected. I still dont understand how the govt can plan and approve of more air traffic at heathrow when they have a bird wildlife sanctuary down the road..common sense for you. Those funds should be held by an independent body, with zero commercial interest in the aviation industry. yours sincerely Lauren Hughes |

| 2497 | Steven Emery | The government's proposed airport expansion plan is perverse. Predicted demand is based on the distorted cost of flying which takes no account of external environmental costs. Expanding Stansted would be a disaster: I will take action. |
|
||
| 2496 | Rachel Mooney | We are living in a fools paradise, with wanton use of resources and little regard for the consequences of our actions. It is time for aviation fuel to be taxed and passengers should pay an environmental tax, too. |
|
||
| 2495 | Jake McMurchie | Firstly, the consequences of our wanton use of fossil fuels - of which air travel is a key part - is already being felt. Secondly, oil is a limited resource and the relatively cheap prices we currently enjoy cannot be sustained anyway. Thirdly, we simply don't need to fly this much, if at all. When will those with the power to make decisions about these sorts of issues start to take a responsible attitude? The true cost of cheap flights will have to be paid eventually, and by us all. |
|
||
| 2494 | jessica hodge | I do not want further airport expansion. More holidays can happily be taken in Great Britain. cheap flights are costing the earth. |
|
||
| 2493 | Sal | It feels that just when people are starting to finally realise the problems with car emissions, air traffic comes along to make matters even worse. It really isn't worth that low-cost mini-break... |
|
||
| 2492 | Cllr. Paul Whitlow | The rapid expansion of air travel makes aviation the fastest growing source of greenhouse gases. We must manage the demand, not subsidise flying. |
|
||
| 2491 | john | Im am against megalomanic exploration of Air travel and exploitation via mainport that can be smaller, more functional, High quality and inclusive all costs, that is: The costs of place for unnessessary more start and landing ways , The costs of climate change and of seriues unhealthy circumstanses as airpollution and much too high levels of noise |
|
||
| 2490 | Keith Magnum | Protecting people's everyday lives from noise and other pollution, as well as their right to a good night's sleep, are fundamental quality of life issues. Cheap flights should not come at the the expense of other people and the planet. |
