Adherents of environmental activism need to do better research before they block traffic or adhere themselves to things. It is vital that one uses the correct type of glue when irritating the bejabbers out of employed people who are trying to get to work. By all means avoid synthetics when gluing your buttocks to the tarmac to protest the use of oil. There’s polymers in that stuff, and polymers are made from— yep, oil.
Even good ‘ol Elmers is full of enviro-nasties, and as for Gorilla Glue— forget it. If you are worried so much about the environment, you need to make your own library paste, which as we all know, won’t stick to pavement, handrails or gallery walls.
When it comes to the process of selecting your protest glue, keep in mind that most of it contains stuff like nitrocellulose, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamides, polyesters, acrylics, cyanoacrylics, phenol formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, unsaturated polyesters, epoxies, and polyurethanes.
And you’re putting this shit on your skin, bozo.
Not to mention that almost everything you’re wearing, your backpack, and even your signs, banners, bullhorns are probably made using oil.
So, before you block the highway or deface humanity’s treasures, judiciously de-petroleum yourself and show up naked. Maybe then, the rest of us will take you seriously.
Be a Doukhobor.
