I think its okay in part, but in the other hand its not the way of expresing our opinions becouse lot of people are sacked out or translated, like my mum, thats why I hate this kind of protest,

I think the protest shouldn't be against Botnia. It should be against pollution in all their aspects.
On the other hand I think it is not good to perjudice other people rights.
In conclusion, there are other ways of protests and other things that damage the enviroment.

See you

In my opinion, it is a good way to call the attention of those who have to attend this kind of problems, but it has became in a big problem. Including the city is divided because of it...
Right now or then, when we have or had the attention, we should have found another ways to protest

CU,

I think that it is a good way of let people know all the problems that we will have to face in the future if Botnia continues working.Also I think that there are others ways of protesting, because the people who have to travel have to wait or travel in other route.

See you tomorrow,

I think we should try to find another way of expressing our opinions.People doesn't pay attention to this kind of protest anymore or,at least,that is what I think.

Hi Caro!
In my view,we should find other ways of expressing our opinions but finally with success.For instance,sometimes that's a problem for the people who has to travel and although they agree or not with the protest,that "cut" of the route causes rather problems.
See you,

hello caro!!! well I think this kind of protests are good because are peacefull and aren't agressive.. In my opinion is the only way to find out a solution for this trouble...
as the goverment doesn't do anything to stop the process the pulp mill, unfortunately, that is the only thing we can do..=(

such a question!.. from my point of view,answering about this is very dificult as you have to consider each of the reasons, but i think that blocking the route isn't the solution, and at the same time they are reflecting the travellers' journey. on the other hand they do that because nobody who can do something about their protest, support them..

Well, I believe it's ok, it's a way of telling the world we're here and we're not gonna allow anyone to come and polute...
it's the only way of protesting they find, I don't blame them, they needed and still need to catch the attention of everybody.
