Light Pollution! "Parkour climate activists switch off Paris shop signs to fight light pollution."




France is under nationwide curfew from 6pm to 6am, and people are staying at home, usually crowded Champs-Élysées in the centre of Paris is all but empty these days. When there are no people around, makes no sense for businesses to keep their signs and advertisements turned on. Parkour climate activists have begun climbing buildings to turn off the signs as part of the Lights Off movement, which seeks to take a stand against light pollution. Since going viral on TikTok, similar actions have started taking place in other French cities. 

Lights off: France parkour collectives fight pollution one store sign at a time.
