10 things we can all do to save the planet, according to Bradford s eco campaigners ECO campaigners in Bradford have shared 10 ways we can all start living more sustainably amid new research on rising fossil fuels. Friends of the Earth, Fossil Free West Yorkshire, GALBA (Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport) and Extinction Rebellion said one small step could help change the current direction of global warming. Campaigner Jane Thewlis told the T&A: We said all success starts with just one small step. My mum used to say It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness . And big progress in history has come from lots of people doing small things - women gaining the vote was after many, many women and men taking small and big actions.
Bradford Council said they had no concerns about the Leeds Bradford Airport expansion. In response to a letter from Nick Smith published in last week s paper, I feel I need to make a comment. Whilst I agree that the effects of air pollution, noise locally and the contribution to carbon emissions generally have been disregarded by Bradford Council, I feel I need to rebuke the assertions that local Councillors did nothing. Indeed, this paper published several letters from me outlining what I had asked Bradford Council to do. Firstly, I asked the Council to hold a consultation in the ward on the application to improve the airport buildings and the expansion to flying hours. The Labour controlled Council declined to do so because they said they were not the deciding authority and as Statutory Consultees they were not obliged to do so.
