DUE to the current state of air pollution and fears of global warming, I am sure most people will agree with me when I say that BAA which is trying to extend its three London airports, is a betrayal of our well-being.

It is not as though people have difficulty getting flights as it is, but of course money comes before the actual welfare of the people. As we've seen recently in the East (ie Middle East) and the hypocrisy of our Government, which claims to care about the environment, is not something that should be unnoticed.

I hope there are people who are equally as disgusted at these plans and I would like people to stop and think about this for a moment.

We can act and stop the few remaining green areas, such as Hatfield Forest, being destroyed and disrupted.
