Paris' Streets cleaned by Japanese lovers of the capital

[mJ9] · Apr 22, 2009

Here's a translated version of the original article:

Armed with brooms, Japanese expatriates have begun to clean certain streets of Paris, including the famous Avenue des Champs-Elysées, to make them more attractive to their citizens engaged in tourism in the capital. “We want to make Paris more attractive, because at the moment is like this, like this,” said Osamu Tada, a former engineer of 36 years. Osamu belongs to the association Greenbirds founded in 2003 and had tackled the cleaning of a busy street in Tokyo. The Paris branch of the association was founded in 2007 by a former banker, Yoshikazu Sekigushi, and a student in school, Masakazu Koyanagi. The city of Paris employs approximately 5,000 people who walk every day about 2400 km of sidewalks for the maintenance and cleanliness of the streets.
