Effects of Noise Pollution

When thinking of pollution, you don’t immediately think of noise, though this is in fact a type of pollution. In our everyday lives we are overloaded with an abundance of noises, most commonly typing on keyboards, music in shops, driving and conversations.

2016 update:

Due to recent short falls in our donations we have had to cut back on the resources in use at the office, which means we are currently facing problems getting more news through to the website as we are taking more direct action against the problems of Aviation Emissions and Noise Pollution. We have recently been out and about in the London Heathrow area and at Westminster supporting the SHE – Stop Heathrow Expansions campaign, SHE is a resident-led Campaign Organisation whose mission is to drum up public support and raise awareness with an aim of blocking any expansion work at Heathrow airport, as well as trying to hold the aviation companies involved more accountable for the effects of their pollution.

Other organisations to check out are HACAN – A voice for those under Heathrow flightpaths. HACAN have been around since the early 1970s and have been instrumental in many aspects of their goals. One major achievement was that HACAN were instrumental in persuading the UK government to use a scheme called “Alternating Runways” which means that at 3pm everyday Heathrow has to change which runway is uses so that residents by each runway get a break from the blanket of noise caused by air traffic.

Are you against expansion at Heathrow Airport? sign the online petition, you can sign an online petition here https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/no-third-runway
Other recommended petitions include Fair Flight Path (https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fair-flights-paths-for-heathrow) and the NO Third Runway petition on Change.org (https://www.change.org/p/secretary-of-state-for-transport-no-third-runway-at-heathrow)
