What makes a pilot give up flying? With Dan Tipney

What makes a pilot give up flying? With Dan Tipney28 Aug1 h 01 min

<p>This week I’m joined by Dan Tipney, a former airline pilot who co-founded <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://safe-landing.org/" target="_blank">Safe Landing</a>, 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.<br />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.<br /><br /><b>USEFUL LINKS:</b></p><ul><li> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-tipney-0811bb84/" target="_blank">Dan Tipney on Linked In</a></li></ul><p> Safe Landing</p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://safe-landing.org/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/safe-landing-org/home/" target="_blank">Linked In</a></p><p>-              <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/safe_landing/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7493939567813660672/" target="_blank">Charlie Cotton’s post on Linked In about flight efficiencies vs flight numbers</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1508061420/episode/ZjgyMDNiMTgtNWU2NS0xMWYxLTkzNjktNjc5Mzk2YThjZTVh" target="_blank">Jon Richardon and The Futurenauts – The Future of Life After Oil</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://larger.us/" target="_blank">Larger Us</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://climatefresk.org/world/" target="_blank">Climate Fresk</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/1383805328/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXN1c3RhaW5hYmxlbGlmZS5jby51ay8_cD03MjY5Mw" target="_blank">Episode 189 – Climate Fresk (and friends) with Ash Goddard</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.charliegardner.net/" target="_blank">Charlie Gardner</a></li><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ayanaelizabeth.com/climatevenn" target="_blank">Ayana Elizbeth Johnson – Climate Venn Diagram</a></li></ul><p> </p><p>Do come and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.asustainablelife.co.uk/sustainableish-clubhouse/" target="_blank">join us in the Sustainable(ish) Clubhouse </a>for September!<br /><br />And please do leave a rating and a review wherever you get your podcasts 🌟</p>
