Dear Gordon Brown
Although I live in Yorkshire, and obviously nowhere near to Heathrow I still feel the need to stand against this gross environmental nightmare.
I do not accept that the UK needs more airport facilities, at a time when the climate around the world is being changed rapidly by this type of recklessness.
The so called 'green' elements that have been included in the decision are a complete joke. The air companies do not have 'green' planes, engine efficiency cannot compensate for the huge increase in emissions the third runway would create.
Although I do not fly myself, I am not against flying when no other form of transport is possible - eg. long haul. Using air travel within the UK, or even within Europe is crazy.
We need to cut emissions (not off-set) across all sectors, and the population need guidance from government - something I feel you are failing to give.
I have become a beneficial owner of the Greenpeace land at Heathrow - not because I believe it will stop the development (your changes in planning policy have destroyed any say the public might have in such matters), but because I believe that the publicity will help bring the cause to more people.
I wish you luck in the next general election - but I will not be voting for a government who care so little about the environment.
Yours
