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 |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | Delaney | Given the commitment of countries around the world, including Britain in reducing emissions to meet the Kyoto Protocol, airport expansion is a counterproductive policy. It holds significant environmental consiquences which will mitigate efforts for conservation. |

| 34 | David Bevan | The airport operators have demonstrated, over quarter of a century, blithering ineptitude at managing the excessive capacity for which they have already argued. Further flights are unmanageable and wholly unsustainable; further runways must not be allowed to increase the already disastrous and dangerous level of air traffic over this small country. |

| 33 | Martin Porter | They managed to dig me out of my tunnel to build Manchester Airport's Second runway. They're not building number three |

| 32 | joss | earth first! |

| 31 | Annie Levy | It�s really simple at this point in time: we�ve got to roll back our use of the planet�s resources for any kind of peace, justice, and beauty to be possible for life on earth in the future. No to airport expansion. Yes to the actual retrenchment of aviation and its infrastructure . First step-- we who've had the privelige to travel lots-- let's travel lots lots less. Runways into meadows. Shooting stars not condensation trails. The silence to hear birdsong rather than deafening rumble of jet engines. My first act in this pledge is to forward this site to everyone I email. |
|
||
| 30 | Brian | We need to find ways to expand transportation infrastructures, but not those that come at the expense of the environment. I oppose airport expansion 100%. |
|
||
| 29 | Janet | I believe that airport expansion is just another example of how we are wasting the precious energy reserves of our planet and feel that we would be better served in devoting our time nad energy into finding alternative environmentally friendly ways of travelling. |
|
||
| 28 | Jim Farrand | Global warming is the greatest threat that mankind currently faces. The government is endangering all of us by failing to take all steps necessary to make drastic cuts in greenhouse gases. I am fully prepared to act if necessary to ensure that future generations can enjoy our planet as we have. |
|
||
| 27 | Simon Bowens | We are expecting our first child in January. I do not want that child (or any other) to grow up in an environment riddled with the problems we will face due to climate change - the airline industry clearly differ. Their growth will lead to huge problems and loss of life and habitats - they must be stopped. I pledge to take whatever peaceful action is necessary to provent this irresponsible growht in the aviation industry. |
