    Campaign against airport expansionHelp

Before booking a flight consider whether there is a viable alternative - such as a coach, train or ferry - or even take holidays closer to home. Cutting down on one long-haul flight a year could reduce your transport footprint by 24%. It is now becoming clearer that flying has an even greater impact on climate change than previously thought as it is likely that emissions of greenhouse gases at high altitudes have between 2 and 4 times more impact on climate change than at ground level
