Two wins!

The other day was a great KOA third seeing in the Marienplatz.
For those who are not in the Bavarian language use at home, here is the translation: There is no third party and refers to the 3rd Take-off and landing runway at Munich airport. Last fall, the Alliance against the 3rd Munich Runway (www.keinestartbahn.de) launched a public petition and collected 35,000 signatures. Thus, it is at 17.6. the referendum in which the citizens of Munich on the 3rd
What's wrong with the 3rd Runway?
1) Do not ever higher, faster, further - two runways are enough.With two runways will also continue to be at any destination. MUC is designed for already more than 500,000 flights. 2011 409 956, the airport takeoffs and landings. And in the first three months of 2012, the number of aircraft movements decreased compared to 2011 by 2.0 percent. There remains plenty of room for improvement - if the need is growing at all!
2) Aircraft noise causes illness.There are already around 540,000 people in the districts of Freising, Erding, Munich, Dachau, and are affected by aircraft noise. With the third runway to change the routes, so that would also suffer from large parts of Munich aircraft noise. That we do not want! For aircraft noise and exhaust fumes make you sick.
3) save valuable nature on our doorstep.Hardly a state sealed surfaces every year more than Bayern. With the third runway an area as large as the Tegernsee would be lost. The last piece with moss Erdingr rare animals and plants would be destroyed, including 1,000 acres of bird sanctuary.
4) Tax funds invest wisely.The third runway is expected to cost 1.25 billion euros - not the usual cost overruns on public works projects included. Munich Airport is located now at 2.7 billion debt. In the end, hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money will dissolve into thin air. Money that is missing elsewhere: in the formation or expansion of the railway.
5) Munich livability.Munich has been experiencing a boom year. The rising prosperity. But there are downsides: Knapper living room, increasingly high cost of living, lack of childcare and congested roads are threatening the quality of life. The social balance sways. Instead of the 3rd Runway, the only benefit a few, we prefer to rely on the development of an efficient and environmentally sound infrastructure for all. Need for a world city with heart none 3 Runway.
6) air travel is a climate killer.Flying is by far the klimaschädlichste form of travel. Sometimes there is no alternative, but the goal must be to slow the traffic rather than encourage it. We can talk about the protection of the environment not only that we need action!
7) Cheap oil - that was then.The days of cheap oil are long gone. Because of the growing global demand, not supply. The price of oil in the long run knows only one way: Up. The fly is considerably more expensive in future. Those who can, will search for affordable alternatives. The future lies in sustainable mobility.
When it comes to voting on each vote. At least 10% of eligible voters for the referendum held in Munich from the 3rd Runway vote. That is why it pays to mobilize personal environment! It is also a sponsor for the people in surrounding areas are at www.my-munich-stimme.de. The people in the direct surrounding the airport can not vote then, as the airport belongs to us citizens of Munich and the city of Munich with the Bavarian State and the Federal Government on the 3rd Start and runway decides.
If you would like more support, then we can also help financially to the Alliance under the arms. Proponents of the 3rd Runway will have to make from the Munich airport company € 1 million available to advertising, the budget of the volunteer-organized alliance is very much smaller.
