Individual,

You may not be aware that everything that you suggest
is part and parcel of our modern daily technology -
- all the protestors are asking is
for all of us to minimize the excesses of major
polluters. And that is the job governments should be doing
but aren't.

If we take an example of the protestors in Hong Kong -
the Hong Kong government has made some adjustments to its
earlier policies. Proetsting does get results. As for
the protestors and earning a living?
- many are earning a living and studying
towards professions to earn a living and contribute to
society.

Foxy, you like the protesters do not have a clue what Governments are doing to manage human and Earth health. What do you identify as what needs change?

Be real; not just a Government protester. You make the change. The Government can only enforce law, like confiscate all petrol and diesel vehicles, and stop mines that give us our quality of life.

Dear Josephus,

They can invest in renewables. Where our future lies.

Remember when bought food containers had a dual purpose like those jam jars that doubled as kitchen glasses?

That's the kind of simple ingenuity I'd support.

Angered after seeing a picture of some activists queuing for food in McDonald’s during Monday’s demonstrations, Piers said: “The hypocrisy that comes with these people. This is where they went for lunch. They went to McDonald’s. To eat mass produced beef out of cardboard boxes.”

“We all want to save the planet. We all want to do more... I’m not lying on the floor screaming, going to McDonald’s, paralysing traffic in London and behaving like a total imbecile.

“They are saying we are gas-guzzling horrible people, they are nipping to McDonald’s. Shameless hypocrites.”
