Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere

Noise pollution, too. Already enough of it with Hanscom air traffic.

This expansion is exactly what we should NOT be doing for the future of our children and grandchildren and our planet!

STOP private hey expansion. Not just everywhere, but especially near Walden Pond. Are you completely out of your mind? You're killing us. STOP killing mother nature/mother earth!!!!!!!!! Shame on these jet owners.

Please STOP this expansion

Aircraft worsen the climate crisis. They cause air pollution, add carbon to the air, create noise pollution. Much of the air traffic at Hanscom is for toys of the rich.

The Rich do not own the earth!

I'm a BU graduate (MA 1975) and author of The Ministry for the Future and agree with those who say this proposed airport expansion is a terrible idea. KSR

Thanks

This project absolutely violates MA climate goals!!!!!

There should be no easier decision to make than to halt development of facilities that will increase carbon emissions from discretionary luxury activities. This expansion will allow those who have already contributed the most to cause climate change to increase the suffering of those who have contributed the least, while enabling them to remain blind to their moral failure. Environmental justice demands that there should be no expansion of private jet infrastructure at Hanscom or any other airport until the climate threat has receded. Gary Rucinski, Newton, MA

This expansion contributes to CO2 which over comes all the good work we do to reduce emission---as well as increases lead exposure. Yes, lead! The private jets use "Avgas" which contains lead. Unleaded gasoline was introduced in the 1970s when health problems from lead became apparent. In the United States, leaded gasoline for use in on-road vehicles was completely phased out as of January 1, 1996. During take off and landing this leaded emission covers the landscape and homes of nearby residents.

This expansion project is a major step backward. It undoes all the hard work of local communities and the greater commonwealth to bring down our green house gas emissions for the convenience and luxury of a very privileged few.

Support and encouragement of private jets is not what our state is about. Uphold the strong climate goals that honor the wellbeing of all citizens of Massachusetts.

We do not want a larger airport in our community.

Please halt expansion. We have enough jets flying over us already. This will increase noise and air pollution.

Outrageously disrespectful to the environment (can you say Carbon Footprint) and the historical nature of the area!

We don't need any expansion at Hanscom; it is surrounded by woods and farms; more planes and bigger planes will have a devastating effect on our beautiful environment in this corner of Middlesex County.
