8:11Now PlayingAn Extinction Rebellion activist has defended the decision to dig up a prized lawn at Trinity College in protest over the Cambridge university "destroying nature".
Miriam, who is a part of the organisation, told LBC that the institution is "contributing to the destruction of the natural world."
Speaking to Iain Dale, she said: "Trinity College has 9.1 million pounds invested in fossil fuel companies and as well as an investment in the lorry Park, which will take 3200 HDBs every day and 600 cars and we are in a climate and ecological emergency."
She added: "We recognise that, and the monoculture of the lawns that Trinity college represents a destruction of the natural world which Extinction Rebellion are obviously trying to prevent."
Iain asked: "But digging up a lawn - the lawn is something that is good for the environment - you've just you've done it outside the Home Office, goodness knows."
