The Green Blog Network: Bertrand Delanoe

If you pick up a Weekend Edition of the NY Times Travel section today, you will find inside a wonderful article highlighting some of Paris's green-friendly programs. Of special interest is the fact that Paris ranks number 10 as a Green City according to a report referenced at the 2009 UN Conference.

Most of the Green Points highlighted in the article have been written about already here on Greening Paris and also on our affiliate blog, Local Food And Wine. Both are published by Paige Donner c. Paige Donner, Ed-in-Chief.

It's wonderful to see, this Earth Month 2011, that the NY Times, of which the International Herald Tribune is its global edition, sat up and took notice of what Paris is doing in a green-friendly way!

10:10 France's Yann Arthus-Bertrand with mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoë

The 10:10:10 celebrations received a massive boost yesterday when the city of Paris said a hearty "bonjour" to the 10:10 campaign. The pace at 10:10 HQ ahead of our Global Day Of Doing has been truly breathless - and we're just getting started.

It's hard to think of a better start to 10:10:10 than the Parisian mayor, Bertrand Delanoë, signing a 10:10 pledge committing the entire French capital to dramatically cut its CO2 emissions.

But how is Paris going to achieve its 10%? Well:

The city will renovate 4,500 housing units per year to dramatically cut emissions.
The "city halls" of each of the 20 arrondissements will be given a full energy saving refurb.
The fleet of municipal vehicles will be optimized and streamlined.
Deep geothermal wells will be dug in the north-east of the city powering 12,000 homes.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Get over to 10:10 France's site and read all about it. Hop over to 1010global.org/101010 for full details.
