British Protesters Rally Against Aviation Industry

HeadlineAug 20, 2007

In Britain, more than 1,000 people gathered near the offices of Heathrow Airport Sunday to highlight the role of aviation in global warming. The activists are calling on Heathrow to cancel plans for a major expansion.

Protest organizer Leila Harris: “We have had enough of the prioritization of economic growth over the future of our planet. The people are taking action themselves, in the knowledge that we are the only people that can put the brakes on climate chaos.”
