See that tiny white sign hanging off the middle of the Toowong pedestrian bridge? It says “Next time, take the train”. Any driver who could read it l would probably end up ploughing into oncoming traffic. It’s lousy, hectoring messaging, too. I sort of think political action needs to convince people, not make the activist feel smug. Addendum: I should have pointed out that I saw the kids wearing blue “Climate Change” tee-shirts hanging the sign as I walked past them. I don’t know who they were associated with.
