In contrast to you, I DO care about how much rubbish they leave behind. They are hypocrites causing environmental damage in their own way.
Well said, Judd.I think we responsible people all think the same way.

You sound like a Labour politician. Everything is the fault of the right wing.

They are a dictatorship and can do whatever they please. Yes, even forced abortion and sterilization.
Moreover, I, and everyone reading this, can do absolutely nothing to change our world's collective carbon footprint. Oh, sure, we can do without dishwashers and microwaves but that is like using a teacup to drain the ocean. Anyone who thinks he/she can make any impact on the earth's ecology is delusional. Yes, doing without can make you feel better but going without merely makes your life harder.
Seriously, 99.9 % of the worlds population doesn't give a rats arse about leaving a carbon footprint or about having more and evermore babies.

However, I have seen the sort of damage they do - with no apparent benefit for anyone, including yourself if I may be so bold.

Re: Extinction the facts
What actual damage have you seen?I don’t know about benefit but Extinction Rebellion haven’t troubled me at all and I am fully in support of their aims.
Many doctors have signed up to Extinction Rebellion - in fact they have their own section of the movement -because they believe in the harmful effects of Climate change .
They can’t all be wrong .

I cannot for the life of me see what benefit to anyone that mindless damage has done.
Can you explain it? Can you justify it?

Re: Extinction the facts
Oh come on this is one occasion digging up turf .It’s not exactly some major irreplaceable damage . .
Reported of course by the Torygraph!
We are destroying the rainforests and the oceans and the Torygraph is worried about a bit of turf !
Travellers cause that sort of damage and leave tons of rubbish on a weekly basis all over the country !
The BLM movement has done real damage left right and centre and not to just a bit of turf!!
Come on you can do better than that surely ?
