The radical ecologist movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) was again successful this Thursday, October 10, but still peacefully. In London, activists blocked part of London City's business airport in the east of the capital. Despite more than a thousand arrests recorded since April, the movement continues its actions all over the place in the street.

Radical but not violent. While Westminster's central district remains blocked by protesters, others are pursuing the action elsewhere in good spirits.

In front of a luxury hotel, they call to music the guests of a party organized by a group of plastic manufacturers. In the maneuver in particular, HRH is the name given to this activist .

" We're here to remind them that plastic kills. That we must eliminate its use. It can not be recycled more than three times. It's one of the industries that generates the most profits. "

In these times, where in the UK, it is also the threat of a Brexit without agreement that occupies the media field, HRH does not hesitate to bind Brexit and environment.

" When we say Brexit, what is it ? It's closing the doors. Especially to people who have been in trouble with our excessive use of plastic and our way here in the West to treat the environment. For me, Brexit keeps these people out. "

Once the action is over, no damage. Just a light cork that has formed for the drivers who emerge with a smile.
