Members of Extinction Rebellion St Albans have created 80 flags with its distinctive hourglass logo to be used for the group's International Rebellion in London from October 7.
This is a series of protests designed to disrupt the capital and push the government to take climate change seriously.
Extinction Rebellion flag-maker Caro said: "We made a makeshift printing press out of old cardboard and newspapers.
"It took a while to get the process running efficiently but we soon got very quick at it."

The flags were made using Soil Association-approved ink.
Another activist, Clare, said: "If you see drip marks on them, they're the ones that got caught in the dew when we were working overnight."
