The association alerts the elected officials of Dijon Métropole on the environmental situation. According to Friends of the Earth, advertising leads to overconsumption that is harmful to the environment.

In this open letter dated February 17, the association recalls that François Rebsamen voted in 2018 for the RLPi. The Local Intercommunal Advertising Regulations are a document that certifies that the municipalities must make efforts in terms of removing advertising panels as on bus shelters. This document was voted in 2018 during the city council. Since then 700 signs have been removed or reduced in Dijon Métropole.
Not enough according to the association which asks the metropolis not to renew its contract which binds it with the advertising company Clear Channel. In this open letter, the association cites the city of Grenoble, a pioneer in having suppressed advertising in its city center.
