On 12 January Plane Stupid activists staged an innovative “reclaim the ice” protest on the British Airways-sponsored rink at the Natural History Museum in London.
Around 30 protestors donned penguin outfits and wielded “BA Fly, penguins die” placards. After 20 minutes, the protestors were forcibly removed by BA security.
“Spokespenguin” Tamsin said: “We love ice too, but the ice in our own home is melting as a result of global warming.
“BA is a major lobbyist for the expansion of Britain’s airports. It is shameful that an institution like the Natural History Museum should allow British Airways to trade on its eco-friendly reputation by sponsoring this ice rink.”
