Equal to itself, the politician, capitalist and technocratic ecology is pleased
to develop " green " transport to the detriment of the most precarious and thecountries of the South. Several local collectives are mobilizing against thisimposture. ---- The Grenoble basin has been the " European Green Capital " sinceJanuary 15 , rewarded for responding to green capitalist logic and privateinterests to the detriment of the most precarious and the environment. The sameday, many groups and activists denounced the greenwashing operation. The labelawarded to the City of Grenoble by the European Commission favors large companiesin the area such as Orange, Caterpillar France or Schneider Electric, which pushto solve environmental issues through " green " technological innovation whichsaves their communication and their profits.However, according to the IPCC, there are only three years left to implementrapid solutions: a productivist and consumerist perspective will not raise thebar with a technological miracle.In the Grenoble basin, the response to environmental issues only serves bourgeoisinterests to the detriment of the rest of the inhabitants. Transport is at theheart of the Grenoble Capitale verte file, kilometers of cycle paths, Métrocâbleand low emission zones (ZFE).Even if the inhabitants and inhabitants use the bicycle, with more than 470 km oftracks, a flat relief and a bicycle rental service offered by the Metropolis, LePostillon highlighted the reality behind this marketing system: employee strikeses, CDD not renewed, managerial pressures, absurd working conditions. The cyclingdream is made on the backs of working people, users and users. As for free publictransport, the electoral promise of Eric Piolle, it is not mentioned.Outsourced pollutionFlagship project for obtaining the label, the Métrocâble planned for 2023 isdenounced, by the Collective against the Métrocâble and its world, as anecological nonsense which would require the concreting of certain floors and anincrease in energy consumption. Green guarantee of unlimited urbanization, themetrocable must allow the Portes en Vercors project: an " eco-territory " sosensitive to ecological issues that it threatens dozens of hectares of arable land...As for ZFEs, they currently affect light utility vehicles and heavy goodsvehicles, authorized in town according to the energy used. With subsidies, theMétropole replaces company vehicles. These are not green for everyone ! Pollutionis moved to non-Western countries which are subject to the extractivist logic ofWestern companies to produce more and more batteries - and "green" fuels continue to come from oil extraction. From January 2023, via the Resilience-Climate law, it is individuals who, forlack of having the appropriate individual car, will be excluded and risk beingsanctioned by the mayor's " human videoverbalization " project .
