Extinction Rebellion Lausanne and Grve du climat Vaud denounce the Lausanne Youth Olympic Games. Sustainable YOGs, what a good joke !, write the two organizations on Sunday in a joint press release.
Activists deplore the use of artificial snow cannons and truck transport to bring snow to the competition sites. They also denounce the participation of certain sponsors, whom they describe as champions in the art of environmental destruction.
Activists still criticize the air show of the Swiss Patrol, performed in recent days at Les Diablerets (VD). Each of these six planes released 6.5 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to that of an average Swiss for six months, they explain. They finally accuse the City of Lausanne of carrying out an information and offensive communication campaign around the YOG (…) while no means is put to inform the population of the crises of biodiversity and climate.
The two Vaudois movements still note that around thirty activists went to demonstrate Sunday at Les Diablerets, on the site of the Alpine skiing competitions.
