They are also changing the way they manage their gardens allowing them to grow out more rather than be cut back. Paris is also transforming with much more cycling and many more electric vehicles. The air quality is improving each time I come. Paris is becoming a more liveable and beautiful city.

This is what happens when intelligent humans from an environmental party are elected as mayors of a city.

Voters need to stop voting for idiots.

Is great but I hope they are planting female trees too. Most of the pollen comes from male trees which are usually the chosen trees in cities because they don't have fruit (less mess to clean up). However the pollen from male trees are one of the main cause of seasonal allergies.

As the video explains they’re also focusing on fruit forests in the city, so presumably they have indeed been planning this with that in mind.

Sorry. Didn't realised that it was a video.
