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 |
|---|---|---|
| 340 | Pauline Hocking | Global warming is affecting the human race and all other species on the planet now. There has never been a greater threat to both human survival and, if there is runaway global warming, to all life on the planet. To consider airport expansion, given this scenario, is not just backward, it is insane. Anyone with courage, a brain and a heart should oppose it. |
 |
||
| 339 | Peter Gray | The increase in air travel is unnecessary and unsustainable. I will take action to reduce further proliferation of air travel. |
|
||
| 338 | Barney Smith | All fossil fuel should be taxed at a high rate, airline fuel even more so, since airlines cater for those with spare money above essential needs. |
|
||
| 337 | CB | We don't need more airports. Climate change is already upon us and air pollution, noise pollution and environment destruction will greatly increase. Greater emphasis must be made for local personal travel, and long distance electronic communication. I am prepared to take non-direct action to stop airport expansion. |
|
||
| 336 | Miss Josie Whitney | As an active member of The Green Party I am directly opposed to the Government's airpost expansion plans, especially as it directly contradicts their pledge to tackle climate change. If the Government does not back down on its expansion plan I will use all of my power and energies to campaign against airport expansion - by supporting those existing organisations lobbying government with both my time and finacial aid, as well as working to raise awareness in my local area and encouraging mass demonstatration against airport expansion. |
|
||
| 335 | JCR | I beleive there are solutions to tackling this problem, and other forms of technology can be exploited in order to reduce air travel, and the noise and environemental pollution it causes. |
|
||
| 334 | jilliebb | I am totally opposed to the Government's plans to extend airports and concrete over the south east with yet more raods and environmentally expensive housing. I will take non-violent direct action to stop this happening - I will also refuse to vote for any prospective MP who supports these ridiculous plans and campaign to ensure that as many other ordinary people are made aware of this crazy, environmentally-destructive situation. |
|
||
| 333 | Tegan | The expansion of airports is another attempt at a short term solution to our long term problems. If the government spent more time investing in new technologies instead of supporting those that are failing the world would be a better place. Surely they've heard the phrase "Flogging a dead horse"? |
|
||
| 332 | Alan | If the government wants us to beieve that is serious about tackling climate change, then it needs to take action now to curb air travel. |
|
||
| 331 | A Putnam | I strongly dissagree with the plan to expand airports due the effect it will have on both human and natural habitats, causing both deprivation as well as unsustainable short term gain for the economy. |
