I felt sorry for the protesters, because they were actually trying to voice their concerns to a deaf world.</p> <p>A family along the road from me were a really early adopter of DHW solar panels on their roof. People seemingly laughed at them back then, tofu-knitting treehuggers that they were, but they put their money where their mouth was. Now houses all over the place have them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78265 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 10:16:36 +0000 chdot 78265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> LBPolice (@LBP_Police)</p> <p>17/07/2012 09:49<br /> LBP can confirm that 5 individuals were arrested &amp; charged in connection with protest activity in Edinburgh yesterday. </p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/Nev5fi" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/Nev5fi</a></p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78204 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:23:14 +0000 chdot 78204@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Polar bears arrested -</p> <p><a href="http://www.local.stv.tv/edinburgh/news/111020-greenpeace-close-three-petrol-stations-in-edinburgh-over-arctic-drilling" rel="nofollow">http://www.local.stv.tv/edinburgh/news/111020-greenpeace-close-three-petrol-stations-in-edinburgh-over-arctic-drilling</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78203 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:17:55 +0000 chdot 78203@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://arcticready.com/sites/default/files/styles/ad_preview/public/memes/d4b780e4beab74772e91189f75ba0542_0.jpg"></p> <p><a href="http://arcticready.com/social/gallery" rel="nofollow">http://arcticready.com/social/gallery</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/en/high/blog/shellfail-inside-story-greenpeace-yes-men/blog/40876/" rel="nofollow">http://www.greenpeace.org/new-zealand/en/high/blog/shellfail-inside-story-greenpeace-yes-men/blog/40876/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78136 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:18:43 +0000 Instography 78136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's good although they look like they've beamed down from the Enterprise. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78134 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:13:22 +0000 Min 78134@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Stop the world.</p> <p>I want to get off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78133 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:11:33 +0000 lionfish 78133@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wow!</p> <p>A couple of years ago, a group of us cycled around 5 of the Shell stations in Edinburgh, with a banner, handing out leaflets to drivers/passers-by for Amnesty International regarding Shell's activities in the Niger delta, e.g.:<br /> <a href="http://www.amnesty.org/en/appeals-for-action/shell/clean-up" rel="nofollow">http://www.amnesty.org/en/appeals-for-action/shell/clean-up</a><br /> - I'd like to point out that we made sure we didn't block access and we stayed on the pavement outside the garages.<br /> (probably why we didn't get in the news :).<br /> We did have one Shell staff member come over, swear at as, tear up some leaflets and threaten to burn our banner, but in general people seemed fairly friendly! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7660#post-78129 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:47:55 +0000 chdot 78129@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You sure the polar bear got on the roof?
