Laura Simpson

I work for the Aviation Environment Federation and for AirportWatch, two leading organisations in the fight against reckless aviation expansion. We promote demand-managed, sustainable aviation policies and research alternatives to the promotion of short-haul, short term thinking that dominate the industry. We also represent thousands of local residents living with aviation blight near airports, and include in our member bodies the RSPB, the National Trust, CPRE, Greenpeace, WWF, FOE, WDM, and many other brilliant organisations.

Things I would like to change: Climate Change impacts on Majority World countries, Biofuel impacts, water conflicts, disaster-resistant development.

    I am looking for young campaigners aged between 14 -19 to take part in a multi-media project for a terrestrial channel.

    The Young Campaigners must be passionate about their subject and be focused on getting their message out to the public and help to change things for the better.

    If you know of any such outspoken and determined teenagers please let me know or get them to contact me at caroline.coombs@rawtelevision.co.uk

    The campaigns can range from small, localised issues to grand scale world domination..well..within reason of course!

    Hi Laura,

    I am talking to the mothers of WeCan.uk.com about the demo to stop airport expansion on May 20th.

    One idea is to do a human chain of "NO" with children. Do you know any school class that might be interested or someone with a lot of children?

    Best regards,

    Rene

    See summary of Chancellor's first budget on Greenvoice news http://www.greenvoice.com/campaigns/125/wikis/1...
    where he announced higher road tax for the most polluting cars but delayed for six months a 2p rise in fuel duty. Also, increases in green tax on flights and supermarkets will be required to charge for plastic bags.

    Hi Laura
    Posted an interesting piece from The Independent, Halifax survey showing people not curbing their flying - Travellers ignore pleas to curb air travel. See under information. How is it all going? Giles

    Hi Laura
    Great stunt from Plane Stupid, very impressive media coverage. I've put a piece under 'information' for our users.

    What can we get our users to do now? We plan on having a big push this week to several thousand people. Is there a petition or event they can attend?

    We have it set up on the campaign to send the template letter- do you want to let your members know the facility is there to send letter?
    We've been emailing people saying it's the last chance to email today in helping stop Heathrow expansion - and asking them to send the template letter to Secretary of State for Transport, opposing expansion and that every voice will make a difference to this campaign.

    Giles

    PS When actually is the deadline today?

    Hi Laura
    It would also be great to add some of the events and activity we discussed yesterday, so people know how the campaign is developing. There's a news and events section, if you need help with this - shout. regards
