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 |
|---|---|---|
| 832 | sime | Enough, already. |
 |
||
| 831 | Arwen | I oppose any plans which will increase pollution of any kind. |
|
||
| 830 | Claudia | Does the government not realise this is the most polluting form of travel and its expansion will make matters a lot worse! |
|
||
| 829 | Rhiannon | Airport expansion is a serious threat to the environment and I will do all I can to make sure the government does not let it happen. |
|
||
| 828 | Bex | I disagree with any plans to contribute to air pollution of the Earth, global warming should be taken more seriously and not to be ignored. |
|
||
| 827 | Peter Walker | Increasing awareness of the damage done, irreversibly, to the atmosphere (i.e. something that affects, directly or indirectly, all on this earth) by aircraft emissions means that air travel must decrease rather than increase in future. This means that no airports should, for any reason, expand: and that alternatives to flying should be chosen by all, whenever and wherever possible. European rail networks, for instance, can often link cities far more effectively than air services, and often with comparable overall journey-times. My wife and I never think of an air journey if rail services will do the same job, even if they take slightly longer. |
|
||
| 826 | Janet H | I oppose any further expansion of any airport and believe that air travel needs to reduce -not expand |
|
||
| 825 | Martin S | Whilst we are in a state, where airline fuel is not taxed pro rata, the whole budget airline boom is based on a false and unsustainable costing model. The relative environmental damage caused by air travel is phenomenal. |
|
||
| 824 | Richard Carter | I strongly support this statement. It is hopeless and hypocritical of the Government to be boasting about Britain supposedly 'leading the world' in reducing carbon dioxide emissions whilst making absolutely no attempt to control aircraft flights. |
|
||
| 823 | craig jones | 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 consider taking personal action to block airport expansion and to prevent companies from supporting and funding it. |
