I showed this article to a French coworker of mine, and I wish I’d had my camera for the look of sheer disgust on his face at that idea of swimming in the Seine.

It's like when they tell us the Amsterdam canals have clean water, they might, but that still doesn't mean I'm gonna go swim in them.

Using the Olympics as an excuse to make environmental improvements. Well done.
