Eco-Friendly Cars

• While we're on the subject of noise pollution and air pollution, it's worth remembering that planes are not the only culprits. Cars are more numerous, and physically closer to us throughout the day. My thanks to David for this handy link that highlights the current and future importance of eco-friendly cars. Enjoy your well-earned pizza, my friend!

Flightless Travel

• A platform to let independent travellers share key information on specific journeys to build up a database on flightless routes around the world. The aim is not to tell you not to fly, it's to highlight the alternative travel routes.

Low Fly Zone

Plane Stupid

• Plane Stupid is a network of grassroots groups that take non violent direct action against aviation expansion.

SAEN (Stop Airport Expansion Now)

• SAEN was formed to campaign against the runway extension at Southend Airport. We are not anti Southend Airport, but we are against an extension to the runway at Southend Airport that would dramatically increase the number of flights over Southend. We aim to protect the local community from the noise, pollution and congestion the runway extension would bring because Southend Council is failing in its duty to do so.

Stop Bristol Airport Expansion

• Help us to prevent a wanton increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the use of green fields for parking thousands of cars, increased traffic on narrow roads and an extra 6 flights per hour on average (and worse at busy times).

Stop Stansted Expansion

• Airport operator BAA and its Spanish owners Ferrovial want to make Stansted Airport bigger than Heathrow today by expanding the use of its single runway and constructing a second runway within an enlarged airport perimeter.

Think Before You Fly

• We need to REDUCE the amount of CO2 we are each responsible for. If you take a plane you INCREASE the amount of CO2 you are responsible for. This site shows what you would need to do just to balance out that extra CO2 at home or on the road.

• The UK's first and only complete UK airport news website. We scour online and offline news sources every day for news about UK airports. We read the stories and the press releases, pick out the facts, and we post them on this website.
