But why do Kevin and the members of his collective On the spot Parkour try, at nightfall, to turn off as many Parisian neon signs as possible?
"I think it's an aberration to leave lights on all night in a world with limited resources," replies the young athlete.
The best way not to waste is perhaps not to consume”.
"It's not a militant action, but a citizen action"
Their action, non-violent, also allows them to practice some figures of Parkour, this acrobatic sports discipline consisting in crossing urban obstacles: "we are not politicized and the DNA of our collective is sport, confirms- he.
So, it is clearly not a militant action, but a citizen action guided by common sense”.
“We obey certain rules,” explains Kevin.
For example, we don't do anything that damages the window, we don't turn off the lights that replace public lighting or those of public utility premises such as pharmacies, the police, etc.
We make sure that it is benevolent and that, behind, the message is well received ”.

As a reminder, the French government has put in place a law to fight against light pollution: signs must now turn off their lights from 1 to 6 a.m.
But unfortunately not all the shops play the game… hence the involvement of Kevin and his friends.
