Climate Protester Bares All, 'Frees The Nipple' Outside Downing Street

While Extinction Rebellion supporters wore creative costumes for their protests, a 31-year-old climate activist chose to go topless for the second time, and also ditched nipple stickers for the protest outside Downing Street.

Laura Amherst chose to "free the nipple" by not using the Extinction Rebellion stickers for the climate crisis protest that took place on Wednesday.

The activist from Brighton hoped showing her breasts would bring more focus to climate change. As the Extinction Rebellion supporters demanded an end to fossil fuel funding, Amherst carried a cardboard sign that read "Citizens Assembly on Climate Change." Other members clutched on to signs that read, "Government climate change failures are killing children."

This comes after she was clicked at London's Oxford Circus wearing only stickers and knickers, and talking about climate change as part of the two-week "Impossible Rebellion," according to Mirror.

Amherst said, "Dancing topless brought a nice energy to the protest, and was also a very body-positive thing to do." She earlier shared that her father and boyfriend have been supportive about her decision to go topless even though it had nothing to do with them. She believes it's her body, and she's her own woman.

She shared that they were doing all that they could to save the planet, and that taking her clothes off got people talking. Money was not the reason for her to take the bold step. She simply wanted people to focus on the need to save the planet through this decision of hers. Many people, especially women, even congratulated her for her eye-catching protest, she revealed. In addition to drawing attention to climate change, she also managed to bring a smile to people's faces.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police were recently accused of being "heavy-handed" with protestors while they cleared a Extinction Rebellion demonstration at the Tower Bridge. As the members of the group blocked the bridge, many officers grappled with protesters.

Extinction Rebellion's protest will continue for a while as the group said that they will get off the streets only when the government puts a halt to "pouring petrol on the fire" of climate change. Protesters have so far cost taxpayers more than 50 million pounds ($6,91,35,000), it was revealed in August.
