Apple tree for the Airplot
We think building a third runway at Heathrow airport is a daft idea – it would undermine all the UK’s targets for reducing carbon emissions. So we bought a plot of land right where BAA want to build it and we’ve called it Airplot. The area around Heathrow is the home of the cox apple. So now we’re planting apple trees on it to provide healthy fruit for the local villagers, putting down roots, and making it as difficult as possible for BAA to build their climate-destroying piece of tarmac.

How this gift works ...
Expanding Heathrow airport would be a disaster for the climate. At full capacity it could become the largest single source of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK, and we would have no hope of meeting our legally binding emissions targets. Buying a plot of land in the middle of the proposed expansion area means that we have joined forces with the local people who would lose their homes if the runway was built, and together we will fight the development every step of the way.
