[sustran] Pollution in Paris... from Bicycles

[Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory]

"... hundreds of electric billboards have sprung up all over town. These 
are part of the deal in which the council provides extensive use of 
advertising space to an urban display company in payment for its 
provision of the Vélib’ service.

An anti-advertising group yesterday announced a mass outing to attack 
the billboards on Friday night [28 September]. The Déboulonneurs 
organisation, which has made a splash with guerrilla-style raids on 
Métro station posters, said: “This is visual pollution of the city . . . 
and energy pollution because each billboard consumes as much electricity 
as the average household.”
