ah bon, "inscrit dans la logique du développement durable" ne veut rien dire?

Toute vérité étant bonne a dire, "grassroots" n'a strictement rien à voir avec "local". La dictature du GDT n'apporte rien à la traduction. Il y a les "translating dictionary translators" et les autres.

grassroots : –adjective
of, pertaining to, or involving the common people, especially as contrasted with or separable from an elite: a grass-roots movement for nuclear disarmament.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/grassroots

"grassroots" veut dire que le projet est issu de la base, de la population , 'bottom up", et non pas des gouvernants ou des élites "top down".

"ça ne veut rien dire" n'est pas un argument. geindre dans le giron des modérateurs n'est pas une preuve de compétence.
