This week I’m joined by Dan Tipney, a former airline pilot who co-founded Safe Landing, a community of aviation workers and enthusiasts, working together to figure out what it might look like to have a world where aviation flourishes, in harmony with nature.
This episode isn’t an episode in flight shaming anyone, and absolutely doesn’t have the intention of making anyone feel bad about the choices they’re making. We obviously talk about the impact of flying, because coming to terms with the cold hard facts around that is a key part of Dan’s story. But this episode is more about the power of story-telling and conversations, about how two things can be true at the same time, and about how learning to recognise that and sit with the discomfort that it can bring, could help us all to have better climate conversations.

There are 60 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year globally – that's around the same as the weight of nearly 6,000 Eiffel Towers!
 And E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream globally, with the UK as the second biggest e-waste producer in the world.

Team Repair are on a mission to change that through education and repair kits to help us all feel a bit more confident having a go at mending our broken electronics.
Tune in to to hear from co-founder Anaïs Engelmann about some of the wider issues around e-waste, how Team Repair got started, and the great work they're doing with kids, schools, and their new mobile phone repair kit for grown ups.

This weeks episode is a solo episode for me - a little bit about our holiday in Switzerland, which isn't really about our holiday in Switzerland. It's more about the logistics of a flight free holiday to Europe from somebody who finds organizing and travel arrangements really quite stressful!

Could secondhand fashion be a lever for positive change within the wider fashion industry? And what might that look like?

Join us as this weeks guest Gemma Metheringham shares her journey from Creative Director at Karen Millen, to PhD student exploring these big questions. Gemma shares her journey on her instagram account, @the_elephant_in_my_wardrobe, where she does a brilliant job of bringing people along with her, encouraging us all to ask more questions of our own choices, but also of the brands and businesses we're choosing to give our money to.
