Airplot
A good example of a neighborhood organization campaign to stop a third runway being proposed for Heathrow airport outside London. Bad for the neighborhood and bad for global warming. The group is buying up land around the airport as a way to prevent the expansion. They have over 80,000 people that have donated funds to purchase the farmland and plant apple trees on it! Supported by Greenpeace and good graphics to boot! Check out their website. www.airplot.org.uk
