Climate activist Greta Thunberg, received a 48-hour ban from entering Venice after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters who dyed the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports. Thunberg and about 35 others were fined $172.
The group said the fluorescent dye used is non-toxic and commonly applied in environmental studies. Activists said the stunt was meant to draw attention to the severe impacts of climate collapse and Venice’s vulnerability to rising sea levels and frequent flooding.
