- Someone 2y agoWould they? Even if this act makes them recycle less litter than they already do (recycling isn’t a fulltime activity), I don’t think it’s impossible they make people create less litter to such an extent that it dwarfs the amount of litter they could have recycled in the time this action cost them.
- isaacfrond 2y agoI genuinely hope Stonehenge will survive the attack unharmed. But you are not going to get attention for your cause without making a big fuss. Have you considered the possibility that they are just right in what they say?
- yawpitch 2y agoConsidering “recycling”, at least of plastics, in the UK has been an alternative bin that feeds an incinerator or a landfill for years since China and the Philippines stopped accepting trash colonialism, I very much doubt they could.
- h2odragon 2y ago"paint" These people are jack wholes but NPR (and most of the rest of the media) shows how casual they are with the truth by calling this "paint." Some PR folks are setting these events up and inviting the media in. The people being arrested are the smallest part of the performance.
