Not a hot take but I’m driving across the county rn and there’s so much natural beauty I can’t fully appreciate bc every time I see a god damn fucking billboard I am so enraged. Especially the ones that are just advertising the billboard itself, “if you’re looking at this it means it works! Rent today!” SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I wanna pull over and torch them so much

    I don't think you can burn anything at all without some ecological damage occurring. Destruction of billboards is probably an ecological plus in terms of people supporting it and moving minds if it brings us even the tiniest step closer to winning. Everyone hates billboards.

    What are billboards made from? Roadside ones aren't really a common thing here in the UK. We only get them physically on buildings.

      Google says PVC usually so burning is probably not the safest choice even if I didn’t accidentally start a forest fire...def would be most visually compelling though haha

          I’m guessing it was what you’re imagining, Up in the grasslands in ND. I just said forest fire because my brains been infiltrated by Smokey the bear
