Eco-warriors campaigning against the rise in aviation rounded off their week-long protest with a series of direct action activities across the UK.
Around 50 protestors remained outside the West London offices of BAA this morning, following news that over 1,000 demonstrators had descended on the headquarters of the Heathrow Airport operator yesterday.
Elsewhere this morning, a group of five campaigners attached themselves to a concrete block outside Sizewell A and B power stations in Suffolk.
In London, activists superglued themselves to exterior of oil company BP in St James’s Square. While 20 protestors demonstrated outside Bridgepoint Capital, the owners of Leeds Bradford Airport.
Two carbon offsetting business were also targeted. Workers at Oxford’s Climate Care were handed a parcel of fish to denote a “red herring”, with the aquatic theme paralleled in North London outside the offices of The Carbon Neutral Company, where demonstrators dressed as red herrings.
“The main thing is that we’ve done everything that we said we would,” claimed protester Isabelle Michel when speaking to the Press Association. “There has been no disruption to passengers and the BAA offices are blockaded and we have done that peacefully.”
Police said 58 people have been arrested during the week-long protest.
