It has been less than two years since the airport gained approval to expand from 10 million to 12 million passengers annually.

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

  • The impact of aircraft on the climate emergency. 
  • 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.

This episode features the Roma Widger Show featuring Christina Wheeler talking about the Green Pledge Project.

Christina is the Project Manager of the Green Pledge Project at Gloucestershire Archives. The project delves into the rich seam of environmentally significant records held at the archives and shares them through events, exhibitions and podcasts. Comparing historic records around climate change and biodiversity loss with contemporary records is illuminating and helps us to understand what the local area was like in a time before living memory.

Christina talks to Roma about one of their series of podcasts about two dawn choruses, recorded in the same place and month, but seventy years apart. In 1950s Wotton, Harry Grimes took his Grundig reel to reel recorder to the edge of the woods and recorded the cacophony of the early morning birdsong. In the background you can hear the steam train and the 5am church bells. Christina and Harry’s son Hugo took this 1950s and 2024 recordings to bird expert Ed Drewitt, to discuss the changes that Ed can hear.
