United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That statement kind of contradicts their application to increase their emissions. They're basically saying "we're pretty low on emissions, we can get away with being worse".
Furthermore this Airport Carbon Accreditation seems to be about offsetting carbon emissions, primarily by planting trees. This is really a bit of a farce, as the trees being planted are almost always monoculture tree farms - they're setting up a profitable business to try and say that their polluting business isn't so bad overall. Meanwhile, monoculture tree farms are terrible for biodiversity.
The highest level of their accreditation, Level 5, only requires "a commitment" to reducing "non-controlled" emissions - ie those produced by aircraft - by 2050.
