YP letter seems to talk about a Rydale anti-fracking protestor, now writing about plastic waste.
"I particularly dislike hypocrisy.
I would encourage Mr Wild and his compatriots, who have openly protested in my area as being anti-fracking, anti-fossil fuel and now anti-plastic, to lead by example.
I would advocate that all protesters stop using plastic placards, gas in their protest camps and to actually consider the environment, which they failed to do when they created a squat in a field without consent.
When they dismantled the protest camp they failed to recycle their detritus, instead they built huge bonfires and burnt their waste, including plastics, sofas and wooden shacks.
The pollution and toxins erupting into our clean air could be seen for miles around.

I am with you there 100 percent. My wife and I both found it nauseating. I am horrified by how the heroic NI veterans are being treated by this government. The USA would never allow this to happen to their veterans. And they wonder why they cannot recruit to the Army and Police armed units. disgraceful.

"France’s avocado president falls short on green goals
After one year in power, the French leader has a patchy environmental record."
https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-france-avocado-president-falls-short-on-green-goals/
"It’s more than a year since Emmanuel Macron pledged to #makeourplanetgreatagain — but his ambitious environmental agenda has largely been a flop.
Since becoming French president last May, he has sought every occasion to claim European leadership — from eurozone reforms, to climate, to the Iran nuclear deal, to managing U.S. President Donald Trump.
In the past year he and his activist environment minister, Nicolas Hulot, have pursued a green program ranging from upping global climate ambition and banning pesticides to freeing bears in the Pyrenees and cutting back on nuclear power.
But the Hulot-Macron green tandem has had to backtrack on almost all parts of that agenda, leaving the president looking like an avocado environmentalist — deep green on the outside but a lighter, pastier shade on the inside."
