In the Pacific Northwest, environmentalists are opposing the expansion of a natural gas pipeline.
In a recent incident in France, a nun tackled an environmental protester who was attempting to halt the construction of a religious center. The protester was part of a group advocating for environmental protection and was protesting against the construction due to concerns about potential environmental damage. The incident took place on October 18, 2023. The protester was not seriously injured in the incident. The religious center's construction is ongoing, with the church maintaining that all necessary environmental regulations and protections are being adhered to.
In a similar vein, environmental protests are also taking place in the United States. In the Pacific Northwest, environmentalists are opposing the expansion of a natural gas pipeline. The expansion has been approved by federal officials, despite opposition from environmental groups and officials in West Coast states. The environmentalists argue that the pipeline expansion could have detrimental effects on the environment, while proponents argue that it is necessary for energy needs.
The nun, identified as Sister Agnes, is a member of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Bordeaux.
The protester was part of a group called 'Defend the Sacred', which opposes the construction of the religious center on environmental grounds.
Accuracy
Fox News reports that the nun tackled the protester because she was 'furious' at the interruption of the construction work. However, both the NY Post and Yahoo News contradict this by stating that the nun tackled the protester out of concern for the safety of the construction workers.
