Sally Rooney: Capitalism is driving the destruction of our planet.
- Draws a straight line from the #ShellToSea movement of the aughts and teens, to the more recent book and movie #HowToBlowUpAPipeline.
- Stops short of calling for sabotage but recommends the above-mentioned book, which does explicitly make such a call.

"While Shell to Sea failed in its ultimate aim of stopping the inland refinery, it did achieve several key victories, including forcing major changes to the project. The struggle shone a harsh light on democracy in contemporary Ireland, highlighting the obscene power of the corporate sector, its capture of the planning, regulatory and political systems and the injustice and violence the state will perpetrate on behalf of corporate profit."

Stop Shell Hell in Mayo!

Remember the Shell to Sea protests that wanted to stop Shell from bringing natural gas from the Corrib Gas Field ashore. They wanted Shell to refine the gas at sea.

According to the Wikipedia page for the group, Shell exited the project in 2018.
