On Monday 20th July, we sent an open letter to Foster + Partners asking them to pause their involvement in aviation expansion and to open a dialogue with us. We have had no reply or acknowledgment of our concerns, and they have so far refused requests for comment from the media.
In case Fosters + Partners haven't seen our letter yet, we are calling upon everyone in ACAN and all our supporters to help us bring this to their attention and send a clear message: The climate crisis cannot be ignored and we don't intend to be either!
Paper Planes Action! - How to Participate:
*Note this is time-sensitive - we want to act in-sync to maximise the impact - please follow the timescales below
1 - Between Now - Thursday 6th August:
Download and print the ACAN paper plane template (on recycled paper if you have some). Fold your paper plane.
Encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same!
Optional: listen to ‘Paper Planes’ by M.I.A. as you do the above.
2 - Thursday 6th August
Take a photo or video of your paper plane and post on social media - Twitter/Instagram, using the following handles and hashtags:
@FosterPartners
@ArchitectsCan
3 - Friday 7th August
Fix a stamp to your paper-plane and put it in the post (postcard style is fine - no need for an envelope).

The campaign cleverly integrates social media and real-world actions, encouraging participants to not only create and share their paper planes, but also to engage with specific hashtags and handles to maximize visibility. big tower tiny square

Nobody can turn a blind eye to the climate catastrophe, and that is certainly not our intention.
