On Saturday 12 October 2019, it is the Jour de la Nuit, the annual Day of the Night, if you will.
Organised every year for the past ten years by the French environmental organisation Agir Pour l’Environnement, the event aims to raise awareness around the subject of light pollution and the protection of nocturnal biodiversity.
We are delighted to announce our renewed partnership with Les Nouveaux Robinson, a foodstuffs cooperative based in the Paris region!
Set up in the nearby suburb of Montreuil in 1993, Les Nouveaux Robinson were very much trailblazers in purveying a wide range of organic products at a time when few others were doing so. Indeed, no other major brand, until then, was offering such a wide variety of organic foodstuffs in Paris and its neighbouring suburbs (over 8000 options to choose from), and Les Nouveaux Robinson continues to go from strength to strength to this day 🌿

If you too think green actions every day can go a very long way, and you want to reach out and protect biodiversity, look no further! Come help us on one of our CleanUp operations!
We’ll be taking action once again on Sunday 13 October at Paris’ Place de la Nation alongside our partners from Les Nouveaux Robinson, an organic food store cooperative based in the Île-de-France region around Paris and its surrounding area.

The transition to clean energy? Easier said than done! So… fancying a lights out with us? : )
If all business owners in France simply switched off their shop signs at closing time, this straightforward act alone would result in a 120,000-tonne reduction in the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, not to mention significantly less light pollution, which would be a serious boon for biodiversity!

For the second year in a row, we decided to mark World Cleanup Day with a clean-up outing!
We started out at Paris’ Saint-Michel fountain, before proceeding up the eponymous boulevard and linking up with the ongoing Climate Strike march 👣
No time to waste! To celebrate our first birthday, we gifted ourselves with… a beach CleanUp! 🌊
In just one hour, we were able to gather a multitude of plastic cups and straws, not to mention endless reams of fishing net! 🐟

There you have it folks! We’ve just blown out our first candle! One whole year of tangible actions since first participating in the Rise for Climate march on 8 September 2018. One whole year of heeding the call to action pronounced by Nicolas Hulot for the sake of climate and biodiversity 🐝
To celebrate our first birthday, we gifted ourselves with… a beach CleanUp! 😄 But that’s not all! We also had a thorough review of everything we’ve achieved throughout these past twelve months:
Alongside 200 public personalities, we decided to sign L214’s call against intensive livestock farming practises.
Intensive livestock farming is an ethical, social and environmental catastrophe. Now is the time to rid ourselves of intensive farming practises so damaging to our climate, our health and the biodiversity that surrounds us!

We recently reached out to the French Minister for the environment, Brune Poirson, in order to cast a light over the issue of toxic materials used in the production of baby nappies.
We wanted to directly enquire about the measures that could be taken in order to better inspect (in a faster and more transparent manner) the production process for such products. In addition, we wanted to raise awareness among parents about their composition, giving them the chance to opt for products less potentially harmful to their baby’s health.
