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 changesignificantly. 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.”

Sooooooooooomany cigarette butts on the streets in Paris!!

I join green bird Pariswith my children. They start feeling or studying something new thanks to the clean-up activity.
