Default What do YOU think Extinction Rebellion or similar should be doing?

The environment is one of my only strong convictions when it comes to politics adjacent things, so when I see a group which actively stands for what I believe in pissing everyone off instead of inspiring, I just feel disappointed.

Here's what I would do if I ran such a group:

Stop/limit the building over our countryside and Green Belt
- Destroys animals' habitats
- Builds over farmland - we'll be producing less, so importing more, relying on fuels to bring the stuff in
- Ruins tight-nit communities
- Trees, grass, and other greenery turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Stop/limit the expansion of big roads
Basically for most of the above. Bigger roads almost always run alongside woodland or farmland.

Blockade fracking sites
Because of the damage fracking does

Edit: and of course
Encourage re-forestation
