The newest type of anti-SUV activism befell throughout Dulwich, with seven streets focused.

A spokesman for Last Gasp stated: “We have a responsibility both to ourselves and the people of the world to stop the climate crisis.
“The SUVs that fill our children’s lungs with toxic chemicals are also fuelling the onslaught of flooding, drought, starvation, and war that the world is facing under climate collapse.
“Thousands of people die in the UK every year because of air pollution, and millions more around the world will die if we allow the natural world to break down.
“This is about fairness. The richest 10 per cent of people – many living here in London – produce nearly half of the global emissions that will bring this crisis to the UK. It’s time to take responsibility.
“We have the solutions to this crisis. Many of those will come when we force our governments to act. But some will begin from people thinking of their future and others, and making the right choice. Rejecting the planet-poisoning of luxury SUVs is one such choice. Last Gasp will be there if they do not.”
