Participants’ Voice to green bird Paris
Cleaner than before,
but still so much dog
poop on the streets in
Paris.
Our activity is so
small that we
probably are not
able to change
significantly. But I
believe small
action is still better
than nothing.
I’m enjoying the
activity of green bird
Paris every month.
I was so frustrated
when I saw a person
littering in front of me.
He surely knows I
was cleaning streets
at that time!
The streets in Paris
are dirty. But I was
happy when a foreign
tourist who felt same
as me was cheering
us on the street.
green bird Paris
motivates me to start
eco-activities.
It’s unbelievable
that I was asked
by Parisiens, “Why
you are doing
such activity? We
keep jobs by
littering.”
Sooooooooooo
many cigarette
butts on the
streets in Paris!!
I join green bird Paris
with my children.
They start feeling or
studying something
new thanks to the
clean-up activity.
