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 |
|---|---|---|
| 86 | Patrick Browne | Airport expansion is unnecessary. It will only leed to people living further apart from eachother and feeling like they need to fly, thus compounding the breakdown in community caused by cars. |
 |

| 85 | Rob White | We need to live sustainably. Air travel on a massive scale is unsustainable, therefore we must manage a decrease in air travel. I shall oppose any attempt at expanding the UKs airports. |
|
||
| 84 | Phil Pritchard | Fossil fuels should be used sparingly and should not be burnt up. Air travel prices do not cover the true price of the damage it causes to our atmosphere and the environment. I won't watch the health of our planet deteriorate as a result of continued extravagant flying and associated airport building. |
|

| 83 | JonB | Enough is enough! Get a sense of perspective: when flying around the planet, we can quite easily spend an extra hour getting to an existing airport, or waiting another day for an available flight. Flying costs: o costs land for airports o costs quality of life for those under flight paths o costs health for all of us through ozone depletion by high level aircraft pollution. So if there are insufficient flights for all of us: make it cost more money. It's just simple supply and demand. And we don't want to subsidise this polluting industry with our land and our health. |

| 82 | Krispy | an aeroplane taking off from Gatwick gives off the same ammount of CO2 emmissions as london rush hour traffic on a monday morning....dowe really need the expansion? things like this dont make sense except to the gov...its all about the money, what about the mess, the pollution, the noise and the damage? |
|
||
| 81 | Grizzles | No more night flights |
|

| 80 | simonin (kfc) | don't expand the airports, there's enough already, people should slow down and appreciate what is around them more instead of running off to some other part of the world to mess it up as tourists for a few weeks. If air travel was taxed fairly that would be a start, but to encourage the growth of air travel by building more airports, at a time when it is blatantly obvious we should be doing everything we can to cut carbon emissions is downright stupid if you ask me, which you didn't, which is the point really cause none of you 'decisions makers' ever actually listen to anyone do you? ( except occasionally to large displays of public protest ) which is why i've signed this pledge. Some of us have got to try and be sensible, even if it is a complete pain having to stop your life just so you can make the world a slightly better place for a whole lot of ignorant people who'll already be blundering down some other dark alley of environmental destruction for a few more dollars. ahwellnevermindsuchislife :-) |

| 79 | verybod | "The trouble with most forms of transport, he thought, is basically that not one of them is worth the bother... The disadvantages involved in pulling lots of black sticky slime from out the ground where it had been hidden safety out of harm's way, turning it into tar to cover the land with, smoke to fill the air with and pouring the rest into the sea, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of being able to get more quickly from one place to another - particularly when the place you arrived at had become, as a result of this, very similar to the place you left, ie, covered with tar, full of smoke and short of fish." |

| 78 | Kate Pattullo | I am glad to have the opportunity to express my opposition to expanding air transport. From all I have read this is inexcusable in terms of protecting the planet as a whole. I travel mainly by bicycle. |
