London, May 20 (RHC)-- In Britain, climate activists from Extinction Rebellion staged a protest in London’s Trafalgar Square, lining up over 2,000 pairs of children’s shoes to draw attention to the ongoing threat of climate catastrophe.
Activists are demanding the government tackle the climate crisis and refuse to bail out extractive industries as part of the coronavirus recovery effort. A banner reading ”COVID Today, Climate Tomorrow, Act Now” was unfurled at the protest.
Extinction Rebellion issued a statement saying: “One crisis doesn’t stop because another starts."
