Why are fuels based on crops as a feedstock not a good alternative to kerosene? 🛬
They harm food security, risk deforestation and, according to @WorldResources, could actually INCREASE aviation emissions rather than cut them. 1/2

Is Dublin Airport doing enough to protect local communities from air pollution?
Vague promises, patchy air pollution sensors, the omission of pollutants such as PM10 and PM2.5 from other monitoring sites.
And now an increase in flight numbers.

Does the UK Government take aircraft noise pollution seriously enough?
The DfT has lowered the altitude at which flightpaths prioritise noise reduction, trading it for undefined efficiency and emissions savings. Read more 👇

Energy bills are rising.
Food costs are soaring.
And yet the government wants to spend billions expanding Heathrow when its own research shows it will have a negative economic impact.
Read that again.

4,000 homes will be lost to Heathrow expansion.
And the damage doesn't stop there.
Pollution. Climate. Communities.
This isn't an abstract threat, it is the devastating reality of this dangerous and irresponsible project.

It's not only the 781 homes facing demolition. Another 5,500 would be left uninhabitable by expansion due to noise and air pollution.
Thousands more families whose lives would be uprooted. Where will they go?

Departing soon from Heathrow's new runway...
More climate breakdown. More job losses. More air pollution.
More runways won’t make life better for ordinary people. So why is it still on the agenda?
