London, UK. 1st August 2017. Rising Up environmental protesters relax after briefly blocking the busy Marylebone Road at Baker St in 'Staying Alive' road-block disco protest to raise awareness and call for urgent action over the high pollution levels from traffic on London streets which chad ause 10,000 premature deaths each year. They walked into the road with banners and umbrellas with the message Stop Killing Londoners and sat down while a statement was read explaining why they were protesting and that it would only cause a brief delay, then danced in front of the blocked traffic before leaving the road. They went on to repeat the protest a short distance away on the opposite carriageway. A few people argued with the protesters, several motorcyclists road dangerously through the protest and one man driving a white van first attempted to drive through the protesters and then threw water over them, but others voiced support for the need to drastically cut pollution.
