As an environmental activist, it is important to be mindful of your actions. Before taking any action to protest for the environment, ensure that it will not cause physical harm to anyone and think of alternate solutions if necessary. Also keep safety protocols in mind, such as making sure that you have properly planned outreaches or demonstrations and made sure that they are safe spaces for everyone involved. Make sure you educate yourselves on proper techniques on how to handle potentially dangerous objects or situations too, such as nonviolent direct action strategies and deescalation tactics if needed. Lastly, consider wearing body armor or other protection gear if organizing protests near buildings with potential violent actors who might attack those taking part in the demonstration.  All of these measures can help protect both yourself and those around you from harm while still being seen advocating for the environment
