Skywatch: Ground the F-35s, Private Jets, and Unnecessary Flights 06/05/2023

From Skywatch:

Hosts Jimmy Leas and Danaka Katovich interview guest Dan Castrigano, campaigner with Safe Landing BTV.

The movement to ground unnecessary flights is growing. This includes the climate-killing F-35s, private jets, and other unnecessary flights. On May 23rd, more than 30 activists gathered at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport to voice these demands. This action was in solidarity with an action on the same day in Geneva, Switzerland, where activists protested at EBACE, the largest private jet sales event in Europe. More than 100 activists were arrested demanding an immediate ban on private jets.

Dan is an educator and community organizer fighting for climate and social justice. Dan is a campaigner with Safe Landing BTV, which demands an immediate ban on private jets and a 50% reduction of emissions at Patricky Leahy International Airport by 2030. You can find Safe Landing BTV at safelandingbtv.org and on social media @safelandingbtv. Dan also campaigns with Flight Free USA and Flight Free Vermont, where folks pledge to fly less, take a flight free year, or quit flying altogether because of the climate crisis. You can pledge to be flight free at flightfree.org.
