On December 1st, members of the Earth Liberation Front executed a massive strike on a large construction site building over 40 Luxury houses in Middle Island, Long Island. During the action, an immense number of windows, totaling to over 200, were smashed, survey stakes were ripped out our earth, slogans were spraypainted profusely, and various other forms of ecotage were performed on the houses. The workers were kind enough to have lined up all their vehicles the day before to facilitate our monkeywrenching. An assortment of equipment ranging from backhoes to bulldozers sustained crippling damage. The final number ranged to a little more than a dozen. Urban sprawl not only destroys the forest and green spaces of our planet, but also leads directly to added runoff of pollutants into waterways,increased traffic that causes congestion and air pollution, and a less pleasing landscape. These luxury homes are being built precariously close to the 320 acre Cathedral Pines County Park. Long Island has the 2nd largest pine barren ecosystem in the world. Our greedy and corrupt politicians are more than willing to provide subsidies and allow construction in any area not under current protection by the Long Island Pine Barren Protection Plan. Our forests also lay ontop of our aquifer which provides a large expanse of drinking water that is easily contaminated by pollutants and runoff. We will not stand by idley while our Earth is butchered for the monetary gain and the luxury of the wealthy elite.

As long as our planet continues to be raped, we will be out there.

We are everywhere.
