London, UK. 1st August 2017. Rising Up environmental protesters dance on the busy Marylebone Road a short distance from Baker St for a second '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 cause 10,000 premature deaths each year. They sat down in front of a banner 'Stop Killing Londoners Cut Air Pollution' while a statement was read explaining why they were protesting and that it would only be a brief stoppage, then danced in front of the blocked traffic before leaving the road. 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.
