    Save the Earth!

    Save the Earth! Strip a Landy?!


    14 Landrovers covered in Paintstripper - UK Indymedia

    Fourteen 4x4s were covered in painstripper in a Land Rover Dealership near Hereford in an action against climate change. Slogans were also sprayed while the vehicles were left to ruin.

    Fourteen 4x4s were covered in painstripper in a Land Rover Dealership near Hereford in an action against climate change. Slogans were also sprayed while the vehicles were left to ruin.

    This action was taken to warn any dealership specialising in these cars, that they are a target. Driving one of these vehicles is the equivelent to leaving the TV on for 32 years, cars like this must be stopped in their tracks.
    Climate Change is the most massive globally destructive issue that is facing us today, we can not wait for anyone else to take action but ourselves. The new dawn is coming for direct action in defence of the Earth. There will be no more tolerance.

      Wow, I wonder what they used to strip the paint off the Landies. Most likely not very environmently friendly. Not to mention that acts like that do almost nothing for a cause even if it is a good one.

      ELF likes to do stupid things like that, EcoTerrorists.

      I wonder if sterilization is still an option for stupid people.

          ????

          Wait until Yellow Stone blows again (which is over due) and there won't be but a hand full off people left and I bet they won't be worried about CO2.

                  Maybe we should ask them what kind of stripper they used. If it works well, then it would be great to help restore my old Rovers! Just tell them you will use it to help recycle a lot of aluminum.

                          I suspect the subsequent repainting job also released more chemicals into the environment. So much for ELF's revolution...

                              Its interesting how some environmentalists have taken on a "fanatical religion" kind of status. Nature is the new sublime replacing religion for these people. I would like to know how much jet fuel they consume compared to the average person so their spokesperson(s) can spread their message of doom and gloom. Also, how do they travel to experiece the world or go to stir up trouble commiting their acts? Do they go by sail or on foot/bike?
