Japanese Urge Parisians To Keep The City Tidy

A group of Japanese eco-enthusiasts gathered under Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower at the weekend, in a bid to get tourists and locals to make more of an effort in keeping the city clean. Joined by passers-by of several nationalities, the Green Bird squad - part of a volunteer movement in Japanese and European cities - was aiming to encourage residents and visitors alike to keep the French capital tidy.

"I don't think that Paris is particularly dirty, but it's a good way to set an example and make our cities clean," said Masataka Tanigawa, 25, a Japanese expatriate who joined Saturday's effort.
