The Government's aggressive policy of airport expansion will do enormous damage. It will mean more pollution, more noise, more destruction. But it can be stopped by the growing movement against this unnecessary expansion.

I have been campaigning against airport expansion with Birmingham Friends of the Earth and Birmingham Airport anti-Noise Group (BANG) since 2001. My personal action will be to step up my campaigning and get others to sign this pledge. Best wishes to you all.

Apart from climate change there's an even more pressing reason why airport capacity should not be increased, that of oil depletion.
With many experts now convinced that Peak Oil is to hand we should focus efforts on sustainable policies to cope with year on year decline in oil supplies. Depletion apart increasing reliance on heavier oil from Middle East is a poor mix for refinery feedstock and it's difficult to see how sufficient aviation fuel to meet (Gov't) projected aviation growth thru 2030 could be provided.
Proposed expansion is quite simply totally unsustainable and must be opposed.

I am strongly opposed to the Government's plans for airport expansion.
I am opposed to airport developers ignoring planning regulations as at Coventry Airport
In the event that the Government chooses to ignore this widespread and well-informed opposition, I will take personal action to block airport expansion and to prevent companies from supporting and funding it. "

My first "personal action' was to propose this pledge and to help make it happen. I believe that we don't stand a hope of dealing with climate change unless we curtail air travel. I intend to do whatever it takes, including putting myself on the line in direct action, to stop this insane development.

I am prepared to take personal non-violent action to oopose this unnecessary and destructive expansion of the airport industry, which threatens the quality of life of future generations.
