Interview: 'Well, who are you gonna call' - when it's about the third runway at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, it's Mark Carter, of course, from Flight Free Australia
Description
Mark Carter (pictured) from Flight Free Australia was clearly the first person to call when it was announced that Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport would receive Federal Government cash to make the complex's third runway a reality.
A story in The Melbourne Age - "Melbourne Airport’s $3 billion third runway cleared for take-off" - told of this development.
Mark explains how his group draws inspiration and sustenance from the European organization, "Stay Grounded" and is affiliated with the locally-based group, "Climate Action Network Australia".
High-speed rail is an alternative to flying and one view can be read in an article on The Conversation by Phillip Laird, "High-speed rail plans may finally end Australia’s 40-year wait to get on board".
The Geelong-based, "The Sustainable Hour" talked with Mark earlier in the year and this episode of "Climate Conversations" includes the audio from that interview, which happened before the confirmation announcement of the the third runway.
