A quarry and a national environmental issue, the Mormont hill in Eclépens was the country's first "zone to defend" for five months. We experienced every step of the process and dedicated a special series to uncovering the complexity and flaws of the project. Despite Holcim's opposition, we worked with dozens of previously unpublished sources and archives. The debate over concrete that followed is still heated.
