Great images showing the 40% pollution reduction in Paris thanks to bike lanes & traffic changes. It works and people in Paris are loving it! #ShareGoodNewsToo
Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.
