I've seen someone dressed as a clown or The Joker getting arrested, all he wanted to do was save the Amazon.

Also, some of them have been spotted getting their lunch in Mcdonalds, which they're free to do, but I didn't think Mcdonalds would be their kind of eatery.

Mcdonalds has salad shakers though, so not necessarily that they ordered meat products there, or you were there with them and overheard what they ordered?

I will always agree with peoples right to protest things they feel are important. However, the way these protests are being done..would annoy me like hell if it was in my area and noone could get to work..or do anything as there were people blocking the roads. So am a bit torn on this as I do agree with their message, but disagree with the way they are going about it. But at the same time, I do think aslong as protests are peaceful..they should be able to happen. Its only when the violence and such starts that they are a big issue.

No, and I said they're perfectly free to eat there, and they can order what they like for me. And you're right, they may not be ordering meat, however, it's not a great look for the cause.

No wonder that girl snatched that disposable cup from boris, we are all adding to the problem while acknowledging it exists.
This is a HUGE problem where my dad lives. With the new rules about housing benefit and such, kids are having to stay at home til they are a lot older. And, they also have to work obviously, and given jobs are scarce, a lot of commuting is often required so a car is pretty much a necessity. So some of the houses on his street are running 4 or 5 cars between them! The whole estate is at war with each other trying to take up the few parking spaces that there are

I do not quite understand either, this obsession with banning straws, while using ridiculous amounts of plastic in other areas? I mean, it cannot be that hard to get milk and drinks to go back to glass bottles surely?! I have been buying glass bottle coke for ages now, its a fortune compared to plastic, but its so much nicer for some reason. I am not really doing it to 'save the planet' or anything, even though such things do help marginally. the whole obsession with straws seems insane. Like mcdonalds..horrid paper straws that won't allow you to drink milkshake, but plastic lids on the cups?!

The whole straws thing is a joke, the paper ones.. they're not even recyclable. There was more awareness in the 70s and 80s than now, pop and milk bottles were reused there was less packaging on produce and there were very few , fast fashion, fast food takeaway shops or cofee shops. So can't moan about sweatshops...unethical or intensive farming and exploitation.

We didn't do our bit, we wanted the primarks and starbucks.. mind you industry has had a massive impact too, we're not responsible for air quality and cancer causing agricultural chemicals.
Cars are getting greener so that's a bonus, soon 2 cars will be as polluting as one so that's something to look forward to

The glass milk bottle is making a comeback, hopefully that will gain some traction

I think the whole drinks industry will be forced to revert to glass and metal as both can be re-melted and reused

They didn't melt milk and pop bottles, they're washed.
