Protest picnic: Satff at Lush wore Edwardian clothing as part of a stunt to raise awarness over climate change
Staff from a Wimbledon cosmetics shop were out in force yesterday persuading shoppers to do their bit in the fight against climate change.
Wearing Edwardian clothing, employees from Lush were promoting the green benefit of taking the train instead of flying as part of a campaign called “climate change is no picnic”.
Shoppers even had the chance to share some picnic food outside the shop front while learning some home truths about the damage caused to the planet by mass-aviation.
The environmental initiative had the support of several organisations including anit-Heathrow expansion campaigners, Plane Stupid, founded by former Wimbledon resident Richard George.
