@XRSeattle: “Seattle’s aviation emissions grew 40% over the past decade, threatening our climate and health. Private jets must be banned and @GovInslee should invest in rail instead of adding a new mega-airport in our region.”

They add "The behavior of these rich people is a luxury that we cannot afford". We must #BanPrivateJets. Read more about the campaign at http://makethempay.info

The flight path over my house has gotten so much louder and has picked up in traffic over the last decade(Hanscom airport) like A LOT. And also another big impact of these planes and jets is sound pollution, I can't imagine how loud and terrifying it must be for the birds, bugs and wildlife if they are literally vibrating the ground as they fly over. #banprivatejets #movetomonorails
