Hello, my name is Sam, I am [Redacted] and I go to [Redacted] school in Ramsgate. I usually go to sleep at around 9:00 to 9:30 this means that the usual duration of sleep I get is 10 hours. If there are 8 flights per night that means I would be waking up every 75 minutes. It also personally takes me a while to get to sleep so I would be missing out on a lot of sleep which would affect me in my time in school. The affect of the planes flying over everyday would also be bad for the environment as one air mile produces around 53.3 pounds of carbon dioxide. Just at night there are 8 flights which means that there would be 426.4 pounds of carbon dioxide which would be falling on our streets and houses every night, not to mention the amounts of cars driving back and fourth from the airport. This would also affect local economy as people would not want to stay somewhere which has flights going over the top every day because of the noise and pollution.
