ZURICH, SWIZERLAND: 60 SUVS DISARMED IN LAST WEEK
Zurich TX:
"After 2 smaller campaigns last week, we aired another 20 SUV tires last night in Hottingen. A total of 60 cars.
We cannot stand idly by as the world burns down and the climate collapses.
SUVs are the cause of the second largest increase in CO2 emissions in the world, so they are completely out of place in Zurich with its efficient and good public transport."
We're seeing more and more interest in The Tyre Extinguishers as the many countries across the world burn in a climate-charged heatwave. Today we learnt that in Spain and Portgual alone, almost 2,000 people have died.
Knowing that the death toll will only rise, each of us is faced with a choice - will we act? Will we be brave? Will we do things that make us uncomfortable?
We offer citizens who are feeling powerless a way to strike back. Get involved. www.tyreextinguishers.com

LONDON, UK AND WATERLOO, ONTARIO - 110 SUVS DISARMED
TX struck on two continents last night, with SUVs disarmed in the affluent Crouch End area of London, UK and in the Upper Beechwood and Beechwood Forest areas of Waterloo, Ontario.
Crouch End TX:
“65 gas-guzzling SUVs disarmed around N London, including Southwood Lane, Shepherds Hill & Cholmley Park, Highgate.
North London TX sends, as always, boundless love, solidarity & respect to all TX groups in this growing international movement to save the planet.“
Waterloo TX:
“Last night, we (Tyre Extinguishers) flattened the tires of 45 SUVs in multiple locations across the Waterloo Region, including the Upper Beechwood and Beechwood Forest neighbourhoods.
The govt is not doing enough to make the auto industry bear the cost of emissions, so we are taking matters into our own hands by adding a cost to the ownership of SUVs: the risk of a deflated tire."

Nice to see these leaflets appearing on deflated SUVs in Paris, France 🥰
Whoever is doing this, bon chance!
We have a French leaflet but we love it when people create their own. Our logo / profile isn't important to us - what's important is making it impossible to own an SUV!
