In Hopes That Death ‘Might Serve Others,’ Lawyer and Human Rights Advocate David Buckel Burns Himself Alive in Fossil Fuel Protest
"Pollution ravages our planet, oozing inhabitability via air, soil, water and weather. Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result—my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves," read a note that was found near Buckel's remains, in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York early on Saturday morning.
