Air pollution is a pressing global issue that impacts public health, the environment, and climate change. With increasing industrialization and urbanization, the emission of harmful pollutants into the air has become a major concern. Petitions on Change.org related to air pollution often focus on demanding government action to reduce emissions, limit the use of fossil fuels, and promote clean energy alternatives.
One notable petition calls for stricter air quality standards to protect vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, from the harmful effects of pollution. Another petition urges companies to implement sustainable practices and reduce their carbon footprint to mitigate the impact of air pollution on the planet.
By signing and supporting petitions on air pollution, individuals can contribute to creating a cleaner and healthier environment for current and future generations. Join the movement to combat air pollution and advocate for policies that prioritize clean air for all.
There are 20,000 nuisance airports in our minority communities. These airports are responsible for 70% of the leaded air floating around. Our families breathe this contamination air.
These airports are for the most part subsidized by our tax dollars. Why are my tax dollars going to subsidize airports that bring lead contaminated air and noise pollution into our communities?
There is no safe level of lead and day in and day out our children are being neurologically and physically damaged by these nuisance airports.
Flying an airplane is a luxury. Breathing clean lead free air and living under quiet skies are a necessity for all communities.
How much longer are we going to let our communities be sacrificed for so,dones personal hobby?
Children over profits.
I live in the departure zone of Hawthorne Airport. Since 2015 the commercial jets are unacceptable. Use a commercial airport not a public one and jeopardize the lives of the residents
Commercials, stunt planes, Small Planes and helicopter noise has increased exponentially over my neighborhood and is disruptive. The lack of city noise and airplane noise was a factor in buying my home here. FAA and aviation department have changed flight paths without consultation or any compensation to land owners. On many occasions I thought that the planes were crashing into my home because they were flying so low and loud ... this is too close to homes for safety. We have open spaces outside the city limit that can be utilized for safe flight. Why on top of homes?
I am deeply concerned that there has not been great management of the airport and it has been allowed to grow to an untenable level with flight schools. Leaded AvGas is used by small engine planes that make up 96% of the traffic North Las vegas. There is no transparency or governance of this impactful airport for the community to allow us to be involved in the decision making process that enables change at this airport. Leaded fuel and noise are hazardous to our health and well being
All aircraft, including military, should be required to adhere to a minimum 1000 ft altitude except when on direct path to runway for takeoff or landing. The current rural limit of 500 ft is nonsense. People live in rural areas. Expect the flying problem to become worse as so called air taxis and flying cars become more available. States are powerless to restrict them, the FAA holds all the cards.
Las Vegas, NV. I've been under constant assault by commercial airlines flying low and loud over my home since October 2023. I have counted three per minute nearly every day 6 a.m. - midnight at times! I contacted the ombudsman whose reply was that this was temporary and to expect this only 25 percent of the year. It's now been seven months - over 50 percent of the time. That was a lie. I bought this home 20 years ago and it never happened until now. I called the FAA noise hotline yesterday and was told, "The FAA decided to use that runway and we can't do anything about it." Now what? My health is deteriorating with PTSD symptoms and my thoughts interrupted every 20 seconds. If I'm on the phone, I must stop talking until the plane passes and tell the person on the other end of the phone, "I can't hear you. You're going to have to repeat what you just said." Try that three times a minute! I can't sleep. Can't think, Can't have friends come over. Isolation. Trauma. Torture. Racing heart. This is no quality of life. Others are getting rich while homeowners are suffering.
