The campaign to stop the third runway at Heathrow Airport is holding a public meeting on Thursday 7th February in Highbury. It is the only meeting about this issue in North London and your chance to express about the government's misguided scheme to expand Heathrow Airport.

It is recognised that we need to take action now to cut CO2 emissions. After massive lobbying by Friends of the Earth and others the government has introduced a bill to create a legal framework to cut CO2 emissions.

If the third runway is built it will blow a hole in this government's plans to cut dangerous greenhouse gas emissions. Aviation already accounts for 34% of London's CO2 emissions. Expansion of Heathrow and more flights will mean that we will have to cut drastically other emissions such as heating our homes, travelling to work, and many other day to activities such as meet the planned cuts in CO2.
