March 25: Action Eindhoven Airport
Last November, Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace organized a large action at Schiphol, demanding a ban on private jets and a tax for frequent flyers. We joined this action and organized follow up supporting actions at the Ministery of Infrastructure and at Schiphol Airport since then. And we will continue! On 25 March XR is organizing the next action: SOS Eindhoven Airport. Scientist Rebellion will join again!
✈️ Eindhoven Airport produces air- and noise pollution and damages health of local residents, but it does NOT have the required nature permit. These are our demands for Eindhoven airport:
- Stop polluting
- Cancel unnecessary flights
- Tell the honest story
- Set legal climate rules
- Give flying a fair price
To join the action with Scientist Rebellion, leave your details here (noting that you wish to join this action) and we will contact you. General info on the XR action can be found here.
