Nigel (One Love One Planet radio host) and Richard Baxter from BAAN discuss:

- Can commercial aircraft become sustainable within the foreseeable future?
- What is the airports' on the communities that live near by, such as pollution and noise, and traffic congestion?
- The story of how the local community took on the airport and persuaded North Somerset Council to turn down their initial expansion plans, and how ultimately Michael Gove reversed that decision.
- Finally, what are BAAN's plans to challenge Bristol Airport again as they apply for permission to further expand passenger numbers, and how you can join their campaign.
