Environment Weekly podcast: Plane Stupid's Joss Garman

We speak to anti-aviation activist, Joss Garman, about the rise of the eco-protest and what the future holds for Plane Stupid, the campaign group he helped to set up; we hear from fashion designer Helen Storey about a biodegradable dress; and we travel to California to find out why disappearing honey bees is an environmental disaster.

Back in England, Beck Dawson tells us how the Wiltshire town of Malborough is trying to cut its carbon footprint.

Leo Hickman, the Guardian's ethical living editor, is joined in the studio by Joss Garman, the campaigner who, probably more than anyone, has raised the issue of aviation's damaging effects on climate change to the top of the political agenda.

They discuss the protests on the roof of oarliament, and the Daily Mail's high-profile campaign to ban plastic bags.

Joss's day job is a climate campaigner for Greenpeace. He tells us about his next battle is to stop a new proposed coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth, in Kent, from getting the go-ahead.

Environment weekly is presented by Alison Benjamin.
