Natuurpint
Nog more flying? Is that still a thing?
Kern Mechelen van Natuurpunt Mechels Rivierengebied organizes a 'Natuurpint' every month around an interesting theme. The ultimate moment to meet other Natuurpunt members and be cozy together. Whether you are simply interested in Natuurpunt, are a member, or have been committed for years as a volunteer: everyone is welcome!
The noise nuisance from Zaventem airport has been a sensitive theme for years and years: a "fucking file" various politicians say. But meanwhile flying is "booming" like never before.
But with global warming and rising CO2 emissions, can we still afford to fly to exotic destinations for a song?
And how great is the health damage caused by Zaventem airport?
And how come flying is so dirt cheap?
You will get an answer to all these and other questions during this Natuurpint evening. Henk Cuypers, active for decades as chairman of a federation of resident groups near the airport and now active in the policy working group of Natuurpunt Mechelen, gives us his idiosyncratic view on the complicated airport file.
