Zion Lights

She wrote a column for The Huffington Post, authored the evidence-based nonfiction book The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting, and contributed to Zero Waste Kids with humanitarian Robin Greenfield.

[3] She appeared on Good Morning Britain multiple times to talk about climate change, once resulting in criticism from viewers who complained that host Richard Madeley barely allowed Lights to speak.

As spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion Lights spoke and wrote frequently in the media to defend civil disobedience as a tactic for action on climate change.

[14] She appeared on the BBC multiple times to discuss the power of protest[15] and need for climate action, and was interviewed on Ed Miliband's podcast Reasons to be Cheerful.

[16] She left XR after an interview on The Andrew Neil Show in October 2019 where she was unable to defend the claim a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion had made that 6 billion people would die by the end of the century due to climate change.

[20] Her talks focus on the importance of communicating science effectively, the climate and ecological emergency, the problems with environmentalism, clean energy, her experiences of being a woman of colour in the green movement.

I quit the Green Party on the same day.”[23] Soon after leaving XR, Lights became a Director of the UK branch of Environmental Progress, an organisation founded and directed by Michael Shellenberger to advocate for nuclear energy.

Zion originally contacted Shellenberger to complain about an article he had written for Forbes in which she was pictured alongside Greta Thunberg, US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bill McKibben and a koala under the title 'Why Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong'.

"[25] After 5 months at Environmental Progress, Lights left to set up her own climate activist group, Emergency Reactor, which she founded alongside philanthropist Daniel Aegerter, Robert Stone, and Joel Scott-Halkes.

[27] Emergency Reactor has undertaken several protests in London and Bristol in the UK, including staging a wedding between nuclear and renewables at COP26.

[29] She authored a paper for Knowmad Institut[30] on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include fossil fuels but not nuclear energy.
