Reach For The Sky

How can cream pies, sitting on top of an airliner, singing on a runway or climbing a 30m crane stop climate change? Our fragile climate is being altered by human pollution, causing erratic weather and rising sea tides worldwide. Despite the stark facts the British Government is allowing every main airport to expand its operations despite evidence that increased flights will increase global warming. However public opposition is growing with protests against nearly every proposed area of expansion. In Reach for the Sky we explore how community activism stopped a multi million pound airport expanding in Britain’s first designated area of outstanding natural beauty.
