My (new) morning bike ride makes me realise how bad the pollution is Paris. Even though I ride along the Seine on a dedicated bike path, at a time where you would expect little traffic I can still breathe and smell the fumes coming from the cars in the adjoining lanes. There are so many alternative to petrol powered cars nowadays that it should be possible to start the banning process sooner than 2025. Maybe we could start by banning all diesel and petrol engines from the first 8 arrondissement and then expand outwards ? 62% of households in Paris do not have a car. Why does our quality of life come second to that of the 38% who are stuck in the previous century.
