I can see lots of problems with burning (people's) cars of course, and this doesn't look like it was politically motivated either, but really - cars are burning up the planet: 150,000 people die annually already (according to WHO) because of climate chaos; humans & our activities are primarily responsible (according to UN IPCC); it is our choices getting in cars, on planes, what we eat (& so on) that directly impact on others' lives around the globe, and on future generations actually having a liveable planet!

Get rid of your car

Its not car ownership that necessarily burns up the plant, its car ridership. In other words a car uses no resources unless driven, unlike say a horse, which is partly why horses and oxen stopped being used for comercial transport. If we had better public transport we would use cars less, but even then a car might be needed for places or times with no public transport. Have you ever tried to get to work at 3 in the morning across town or even 150 miles away on a Sunday?

'a car uses no resources unless driven'

Are you suggesting that manufacturing a car requires no resources? Really??? You sure about that?
