The question we should be asking is less how much expansion should we have? And more, is the current amount safe for the climate?

The question isn’t “how much” expansion is ok.

It’s whether current flight levels are already too high - for people and the planet.

We’re bringing this question to Parliament on Jan 21.

Tackle wood burning and road traffic to improve Europe’s air quality, study finds Researchers measure toxicity of air samples across continent to advise on ‘efficient’ policies to reduce harm

Another major study adds to the evidence: road traffic isn’t just a source of air pollution, it’s one of the most toxic sources.

The science is clear. Reducing traffic isn’t optional anymore, it’s essential for cleaner air, healthier cities, and a liveable future.

A large SUV with private jet wings

A group of campaigners holding "Tax Private Jets" signs.

Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?

Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.

Another runway means higher emissions, more flights, and little economic benefit.

Instead of doubling down on airport expansion, the UK should focus on sustainable transport and policies that genuinely grow the economy without destroying the climate.

Sustainable aviation fuels are sold as a climate solution.

But the truth is: they’re costly, unscalable, and not ready for widespread use.

Instead of cutting emissions, they risk becoming a greenwashing excuse for dangerous airport expansion.

High public transport fares don’t just hit budgets.

They limit access to jobs, education & social connection, and push people into car dependency.

We already have the answers: investment in affordable, reliable public transport.

Let's get on with it.

'Dieselgate': Five carmakers go on trial over emissions cheat claims The trial is the latest chapter of what has become known as the

The #Dieselgate trial is a stark reminder of a bigger issue: diesel vehicles are still damaging our health.

We need to get diesel off our streets, by electrifying high-mileage vehicles and cutting overall traffic.

This is about the future of us, our children, & our planet.

The gov's Jet Zero strategy relies on tech that doesn't exist yet. Unless they start to put constraints on flights there won't be the incentive for the sector to invest in that tech.

Jet Zero bets on future tech to solve aviation emissions — but flights are growing now.

Without limits & penalties, there’s no reason to invest in clean solutions. Tech isn't coming to save us. But action can.

Local oil isn’t a strategy. It’s a distraction.

The government’s focus shouldn’t be on making fossil fuels last longer. It should be on moving faster toward a clean energy system.

More flights don’t mean a stronger economy.

The UK’s tourism spending deficit means that encouraging more flights actually sends money out of the country.

Far from damaging the economy, restricting flights would rebalance this, boosting growth where it matters: here.

The gov is very focused on economic growth and jobs. But we can't have a thriving economy unless we also tackle the climate crisis.

The government talks a lot about growth and jobs.

But here’s the truth: there is no thriving economy on a broken planet.

We have to cut aviation emissions if we want sustainable growth.

London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

Thanks to bold action like #ULEZ, London has finally hit legal limits on toxic NO₂!

This wouldn't have been possible if the Mayor of London didn't keep pushing to make it happen.

But, we're not done.

London isn't the only city in the UK. There's still more we can all do.

All the commercial airlines in the UK don't pay tax on the fuel they burn. That means a single driver pays more tax on one tank of fuel than every single airline in the UK.

Airlines pay zero tax on fuel, while emissions keep climbing. ✈️

Without fair policies and real financial pressure, there’s no incentive for the industry to cut pollution.

It’s time to make polluters pay.

The Chancellor says airport expansion will grow the economy.

But here’s the truth: business travel is flat, and more Brits fly out than tourists fly in.

So who’s benefiting? Mostly wealthy frequent flyers.

It’s time they paid for their pollution 👉 https://bit.ly/3FXQefR

Here's what people really think about airport expansion

Most people don't believe that airport expansion brings them any benefits.

Just one in five people believe that expanding airports will bring down the cost of living

People want the aviation industry to reduce its emissions

The public doesn’t want more airport expansion. They want clean air, stability, and safe communities.

Why is government ignoring public opinion — and climate science — to push through Gatwick’s second runway?

Ed Miliband accused of subsidising ‘wasteful and dangerous’ electric SUVs MPs criticise ‘inconsistent’ climate policy that includes grants of up to £3,750 for ‘supersized status symbols’

Electric SUV subsidies have MPs up in arms — and it’s clear why.

Instead of helping the people who need it most, public money is going to oversized vehicles that cause more road danger & pollution.

Vans polluting more than London cabs, analysis finds The Clean Cities think tank wants small businesses and charities to be supported to use EVs.

London’s taxis show progress is possible: over 60% are now diesel-free.

But vans are the next big challenge — and 1 in 3 cabbies still need help to switch.

If London wants cleaner streets, this is where policy needs to focus next. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy3y7ymr7zo

Air pollution has been tied to Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s what you need to know ‘Air pollution doesn’t just increase the risk of dementia — it actually makes Alzheimer’s disease worse,’ Dr. Edward Lee says

You don’t need to look far to see that air pollution is harming our health. The evidence is everywhere.

So, why aren't we doing more?

Flying isn’t just a choice—it’s a demand engineered. Billions are spent advertising flights, selling holidays, status, and identity.

Yet aviation is one of the most polluting, least regulated sectors.

So, why are we still being sold something the planet can't afford?

Edinburgh road traffic continuing to rise despite council efforts The city's transport leader still hopes to bring traffic levels down by 2030, but latest figures show it has risen to almost pre-Covid levels.

Traffic in Edinburgh is rising again — and it’s not just Edinburgh. Across the UK, congestion and pollution are increasing. That's bad for everyone, whether you're a driver or not.

If we don't invest in affordable alternatives, we'll keep driving ourselves into crisis.

Tories pledge to extract all remaining North Sea oil and gas reserves Kemi Badenoch says UK move away from fossil fuel extraction is an ‘act of economic disarmament’

Kemi Badenoch says North Sea oil and gas is the answer to our problems, but the gov’s own advisors disagree.

Inaction could cost 7% of GDP by 2050, taking down our economy & planet in one go.

Fossil fuels aren’t a plan for the future, they’re a way to destroy it.
