[eric.britton]

[Thanks so much for that good heads-up on this Todd. There's a lot to it.
And indeed we have a section on this in our forthcoming Greening of Paris -
Vélib' report. Vigilance is so important.  Eric Britton]

"... 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."
