This is a demonstration against the Clinton-Gore proposal for an incinerator in Ohio.
From Joel Kovel's critique of Al Gore in "A Really Inconvenient Truth"
While there is nothing wrong with any ecologically voluntarist act so long as it is done with a good heart and a mind toward restoring the earth, there is nothing inherent to it, either, that leads anywhere. Moral exhortations may feel as though they generate larger purposes, but this is an illusion. There is no solidarity inherent to the moral impulse; and unless that which makes for solidarity is added, voluntarism will stop at its own border.
