On Tuesday morning, a few hundred activists and supporters of the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion continued to occupy the Place du Châtelet and the Pont au Change, which leads to the Île de la Cité in the centre of Paris, to demand more action against global warming. This is part of a week-long international mobilisation happening all week in 60 major cities around the world including London, Berlin and Dublin. This is next to the Paris law courts and yards from the préfecture where four police officers were murdered last week. Old dusty LED strips from a previous project, salvaged pieces of wood, borrowed phone battery, old arduino. In June, during an action to block another bridge in Paris, Extinction Rebellion members were moved on by the police using tear gas at close range.
