This is 99% Invisible. I'm Roman Mars. In February 2023, protesters took to the streets of Oxford, England. Many were wearing yellow safety vests and holding flags and signs with complaints about the local government.

00:00:24 Speaker_03
Specifically, they were protesting new urban planning policies being carried out by their city. Now, under normal circumstances, a protest like this might get a little bit of local media attention and then disappear. But this one was different.

00:00:40 Speaker_03
Thousands of people showed up. And it was part of a bigger trend.

This is 99% Invisible. I'm Roman Mars. Every November, Americans gather together to celebrate important traditions. Shopping for doorbuster deals on 72-inch TVs. Watching Snoopy balloons float down 6th Avenue. And we eat a lot of food.

00:00:20 Speaker_06
Lots of food means lots of food waste. And so, after your Thanksgiving, you might find yourself hosting an unwanted second gathering. Raccoons rummaging in your garbage for discarded turkey and uneaten yams.

00:00:35 Speaker_06
Today, we're presenting a remixed all time favorite story we ran for Thanksgiving 2018. It's about our friendly neighbors up north and their attempt to defend themselves from an invading army of trash pandas. Enjoy.
