OT: UK environmentalists go free

No, they're not releasing incarcerated environmentalists in Britain (are
there any?). They're releasing ordinary criminals if the do-bads hug a tree.
Literally. Wrap their arms around it and give the tree a squeeze.

For large trees, a "group hug" is required.

Honest.
