Environmental activist group "Asphalt Indians" deflate tyres of SUVs

A campaign of emptying the tyres of sports utility vehicles in the name of protecting the climate, carried out by a group calling themselves "Indians of the Asphalt Jungle", is believed to have spread to Finland.
     In the South-western city of Turku, after the weekend, the air has been let out of the tyres of at least three parked vehicles on Sirkkalankatu and in the Ylioppilaskylä student village.
   
     ...In the same note the target of the act of vandalism was consoled: "Do not take this personally, it is only your car that we do not like".

So... to save the environment they are making industrial companies use petroleum to fabricate more rubber and tire companies to treat and synthesize a useful tire out of it while in turn casting perfectly useful items into garbage piles.

That makes sense.

The only way this would work is if someone walked out to their SUV and went "wow, someone slashed my tires.  I should ride my bike more."

CF, the story just said they let the air out. That's not the same as slashing them.

Do you happen to drive an Escalade?

But you get worse mileage unless your tires are properly inflated.  

Stupid Asphalt Indians!

They should go around and properly inflate peoples tires, then they would really make a difference. . . and probably even make some friends!
