Between DIY solutions, zero-waste offerings, passive house displays and much, much more, we truly saw it all! 🤗

Last April and October, we set out on the streets of Paris in order to check if shop fronts had their lights switched off in the early hours of the morning.

In July and September, we headed out to France’s northern Opal Coast to collect rubbish and plastic waste. On both of our clean-up outings, at the beaches of Berck-sur-Mer and Merlimont, we came across a considerable amount of plastic fishing nets and resultant residue 🙈
