“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
Gonna need to hit a lot more than 600 SUV's to make a meaningful dent, and you won't get the numbers to do that if you can't get people on your side. This comes across to the majority of people like weird crank shit, and therefore actively harms the movement's ability to gain an effective mass.
Good thing they’ve done 9,000 and counting.
And it’s not just putting them out of commission for a bit that causes the reduction, sales of SUVs in affected areas drop dramatically.
