Heathrow acid test - email your MP

The UK Government aims to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050, but it will never achieve this without limiting emissions from air travel - currently the single fastest growing factor in the country's carbon footprint.
Allowing another runway at Heathrow would shred its credibility - as well as breaking previous commitments to local residents and propping up a dinosaur industry which receives too many handouts already. See http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/nov/03/climate-change-emissions-recession-heathrow#history-byline and email your MP now!
