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 |
|---|---|---|
| 594 | Lillian | I am opposed to airport expansion along with other government and corporate plans which are destroying our environment. |
 |
||
| 593 | Andrea Jefford | All governments have a responsiblity for local environments as well as for global climate change. Must STOP encouraging 'cheap' flights and STOP expanding ariports NOW. |
|
||
| 592 | Matt | Airport expansion is crazy - we need to get people onto the rails and out of the air! |
|
||
| 591 | Mike | There can be no justification for this most polluting of all forms of transport - used predominantly by the rich - being subsidised by our taxes. |
|
||
| 590 | Nicholas Weir | We already have too many airports and runways. We need higher taxation on all the costs of air travel to reduce the demand for flights. |
|
||
| 589 | Ros Bedlow | Carbon rationing is the only equitable way to reduce carbon emissions and would drastically cut air travel. I personally will not fly if there is an alternative. |
|
||
| 588 | Teresa Gunton | I am vehemently opposed to airport expansion. When cheap foreign holidays take precendence over our own tourist industry and the environment, things need to change. I will do all I can to prevent increased airport capacity and I will be putting my money where my mouth is and choose holidays that I can get to by train and boat. |
|
||
| 587 | Paula | Opposed to expansion of airports and associated increase in air travel and pollution |
|
||
| 586 | Ben Simpson (Greenpeace, Cornwall) | I believe that the predicted need for extra airport capacity can be relieved by diverting government investment into improving the speed, frequency and reliability of intercity rail links. This combined with reductions in the cost of rail travel will stimulate a reduction in the demand for internal flights and consequentially reduce the predicted pressure on runway space that drives the governments airport expansion policy. |
|
||
| 585 | Che sutherland | I oppose further airport expansion because the air travel business is unsustainable in both fuel use and CO2 output. Air travel has been supported when it is vital that other options are implemented instead. |
