I intend to post at greater length about my opposition to the expansion of Heathrow airport. But I have taken the step of joining thousands of others in becoming a beneficial owner of the land due to become Heathrow’s third runway. You can also sign up on the Greenpeace web site here.
Environmental writer George Monbiot is one of those who has signed up. He says:
“Heathrow was built on the orchards that once supplied London. I’ll be doing my bit to restore the site to its proper function by planting an apple tree on the plot. Years hence, when the threat of a third runway is a distant memory, I will send the first box of fruit I harvest from it to Downing Street.”
