Private jets are terrible for the environment. Please stop this proposal that would increase their use. Thank you.

I live in Amherst MA -- this is a terrible idea. We need to make policy for a burning planet not burn it even more for the ultra-rich.

What a wonderfully easy (except on some fat cats and $$ to politicians)) way to reduce some CO2 emissions!

I do not live in Massachusetts, but care deeply about the climate crisis. Your action to stop private jet has impact beyond the MA state line - it can serve as a model for other leaders around the country. Please say no to the private jet expansion of Hanscom Field.

You have a stellar climate record, and I am sure you will do the right thing here.

Private Jets are stupid. Everyone thinks so.

This just seems like a bad idea on so many levels. Climate wise, these flights are the worst. We can and must do better. Please do not let this project move forward.

the carbon cost of private jet travel is just far too high, folks can take the acela to nyc and dc.

Wasteful use of private jets should not be encouraged by expansion of facilities. Not now! Let's take the climate crisis seriously. Blocking this expansion does not create hardship.

I'm in Arizona, but please don't approve this in YOUR back yard, because when it comes to the environment, we all have the same back yard. Set an example.

Emissions from jet planes are killing the environment and it is a crisis considering private keys are less and less of a luxury and more accessible. Public transportation such as trains, busses, and pay-for bikes and scooters are a much more viable option for cities all over the United States. Please consider other options, ones that benefit more than one American at a time. Look to France and Amsterdam in their decisions versus our own, and the enormous differences in how happy their populations are compared to ours.

This is utterly ridiculous and ignores the piles of evidence showing the immense climate damage done by private jets. Improve the quality of "regular" air travel and maybe there'd be less demand for this dangerous nonsense. Thank you.

As a fellow New Englander, Vermont, I stand with you in the campaign to stop burning stuff. Why allow the mega-rich the luxury of flying their carbon intense jets out of our airports when they can take commercial flights or the train like everybody else.

The last thing we need is to increase the pollution from private jets. The increased demand for these is a sign that taxes on the super-wealthy need to be raised, and not one to put more pollution into the atmosphere.
