Extinction Rebellion is blocking entry at facilities in the UK, Germany and Netherlands to address Black Friday's 'toxic consumerism.'

"epitomizes an obsession with overconsumption that is not consistent with a liveable planet."

Carlyon added:"If we don't talk about what consumerism is doing to our planet and our society then we will not address the planetary emergency that's happening now. "We can no longer live under a system that pushes deadly infinite growth at a time of crisis, manipulating consumers, exploiting workers and destroying the planet. Amazon's business model has enabled massive growth. As its empire grows, so does its exploitation."Extinction Rebellion
