Ban night flights, stop airport expansions.
We stand with communities in Ireland impacted by harmful night flights. Kids need adequate rest for their well-being.
They also need urgent climate action from aviation, to help protect their futures.🌎

The irony is clear. But it’s our lives that are at stake.
If we don't intervene, aviation will keep chasing profit until it self-destructs, taking us all with it.
