Planestupid activists target Travel Agents

Plane Stupid | 02.02.2007 02:12 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | London

Across London, travel agents have been targeted for creative action by activists from the Planestupid network to coincide with the IPPC climate change report.

Small groups of activists spraypainted green footprints into travel agents - representing carbon footprints - and larger red footprints leaving, to highlight the extra CO2 emissions from taking a flight.

A study out yesterday (Thursday) from the Government showed that while household emissions dropped by approx 4% last year, emissions from aviation grew by 7%.

In Manchester too, these footprint stencils appeared this morning all over the city centre: outside supermarkets, travel agents, flight centres and the Humvee garage that had been target of climate activists only a few weeks earlier.
