Parkour for pollution

Monday, Aug 29, 2022

It's just after sunset in Rennes, France, when the Wizzy Gang takes to the streets. The boys roam the city's roads and alleyways most nights as part of their mission: Opération Luciole, aka Operation Firefly.

  • The gang's goal? To help combat climate change – one light switch at a time. 

💡 Bright idea... The boys of the Wizzy Gang are parkour experts, able to climb up walls and buildings with ease. 

  • They've made a game out of reaching public light switches during their stunts, spending their evenings turning off unnecessary lights around town to reduce electricity use.

🔆 Little actions, big results... "[We] see different lights in lots of shops..." said Wizzy Gang member Mathieu Brulard. “It was cool because the light pollution is a big problem here in the city and other cities. We want to show that making improvements to ecological things is pretty fun, too.”
