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.

Summer scrubbin’, happened so fast! 🎵🎶 We decided to take advantage of the sunny weather this weekend to carry out another CleanUp operation at Berck beach. 🏖
In just one hour, we were able to collect a variety of plastic cups, endless chunks of Styrofoam and bottomless reams of fishing net. To top it all off, we managed to gather no less than… 448 cigarette butts!

Sunny days are back again, so we decided to take a trip to Montmartre for another CleanUp operation.
Manon took this opportunity to focus primarily on cigarette butts, which were – unsurprisingly so – the most common form of rubbish we collected 🙈

It’s the Night of Biodiversity! A fantastic opportunity for us to go out and check whether the lights in Paris’ store fronts and shop windows are switched off after 1:00am!
Unfortunately, on our outing, we discovered that this sadly wasn’t the case. We spotted such bad behaviour from a lot of major brands and chain stores, from the likes of Mango, BoConcept and Antonelle Paris, to La Brioche Dorée and NAF NAF, to name but a few 🙄
