Watch: In defence of environmental activism

Full interview with Victoria Pisani on Wednesday morning

Environmental activism is a tough gig even at the best of times, but Victoria Pisani is not the type to be easily daunted.

In this Times Talk interview, the 27-year-old Kamp Emerġenża Ambjent and Moviment Graffiti member has some harsh words for "puppet" politicians and the Planning Authority, as she looks ahead to the protest groups' next battles. 

Ms Pisani, who made waves last month when she and fellow activists brought a PA fuel station application hearing grinding to a halt, also notes that while expressing outrage on social media is all well and good, people must be willing to do more if they truly want to put an end to environmental degradation. 

The full Times Talk interview with Ms Pisani will be uploaded on Wednesday morning.
