the same problem in sweden

Swedish activists deflate hundreds of SUV tyres


During the past week a group of Stockholm activists have deflated hundreds of SUV tyres to protest the excess use of fossil fuels. The group called Asfaltsdjungelns Cowboys (English: The Cowboys of the Concrete Jungle) leaves a letter for the owner of the vehicle behind:

Your SUV kills!

We have deflated one or several tyres of your SUV. Don’t take it personal. It’s your car we don’t like. [...] either you are ignorant of, or you don’t care about the fact that all the gas you consume by driving around in your SUV in the streets of the city has devastating consequences for others. Scientists are entirely sure that we are very close to pushing climate change over a threshold, into a phase where it will be totally out of control.
[...]
That’s why we have disarmed your SUV by deflating the tires. Since you live in a city with a functioning and accessible public transportation system you will have no problem going where you want without your SUV.
/ The Indians of the Concrete Jungle
