| I'm with Steve on this, I've waited to see how the protest unfolded before jumping to either side. It's obvious they're right, but how they protest is important, disrupting the DLR bothered me a bit, but this is a fantastic campaign - everyone's talking about it. Huge achievement! I was already on-board, in theory, and with thanks to Rima and Philippa, but I took a train journey today and was given a plastic bottle of water, like a hundred times before, but when I put it in the bin, I decided not to take them in future. I'll take my own, in some sort of reusable thing. It's a trivial example and I won't be going to join them tomorrow (Hopefully, I'll be drinking rose in the sunshine) but lots of us will listen to what they're saying and will change our behaviour. Lots of people making small changes is as powerful as a few people taking dramatic action. My actions are small but I'm grateful to them. |
