Paris is cleaning up the river Seine. Can it be done in time for the Olympics? | AFP 

Nothing more refreshing than swimming in an ecoli tank. 😮

Here in in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia we have a way worse problem with the Bogotá river and local authorities are also aiming to clean it. Hopefully we will start to see simillar results here one day.

Not mentioned in this video is that almost every big city in Switzerland (Zurich, Bern, Basel) has huge numbers of people swimming safely in the rivers in the summer. It is possible!

Wait, swimming in that river is in seine lol.

I was in Paris recently and no way I’d swim in the Seine. Lol

My BIG question is…..WHY do people litter?!?

The tap water there isn't anything to write home about, either. I lived in Paris for several months in college and wound up with an ear infection from taking showers right before bed (and wearing foam earplugs overnight). I'd done the same at home, in the U.S., for for many years. (Before you attack me, I love Paris and France and plan to do a study sabbatical there in the next several years!)

live in paris for 8 years until 2023. People at night when they get drunk and get the urge to piss go to the seine to release the pressure xD i bet 5% of the seine is piss lol

There's no chance I would even dip a toe in the river in Paris.

Interesting at 0:40 how the translated subtitles omitted swimming with the "cadavres," or dead bodies. 😅

The French are working hard at it!

Wouldn't it be better to build a separate channel aside the river?

Excellent report!!!

What about microplastic, especially to ever-growing micro cloths? Does the treatment plant capture it

I hope it won't turn into a Ganges river after the olimpic games.

They should electricity the tourist boats touring those few kilometers from Eiffel tower. The gasoline savings alone will pay the batteries in mere years instead of decades. Should be legally required from these multimillion companies

Clean up the RIVER and the BED BUGS !!!

Its the shit pot of Paris. Bon appetit.

BTW when is the rainy season in France? Hope storm water doesn't flood the river at the right time!

Even if they make it clean, if the water color isn't blue as a pool, dumb modern/city people will assume it's dirty....

They should clean all rivers on Europe

I thought this happens only in the Asia-Pacific region

In short, No

Spoiler : No

That's inseine!

What do they do with the rubbish that's collected? Here in my country not all plastic which could recycled are not but go to the dump. They have to be a certain size not to big or small. Not all types of plastic is recycled I feel as a race we are far from coming to terms with discarded rubbish, especially in poorer countries. This places soil and waterways in danger of pollution. Yet people depend on water for washing and fishing. Soil for growing food. We are stupid

There are sharks there

Try to swim in varanasi 😅😅😅

When you know better you do better! #stoplittering🛑

I doubt they will be able to do it in time for the olympics. It is now very near and still soooo polluted and dirty. But I do hope France do succeed in cleaning it up for their citizens to enjoy in 2025.+

no.

Nice to know that in 2024 most French homes aren’t directly flushing into the Seine😮. Wtf

Somos demasiados humanos en el mundo, todo se contamina y no hay aún totalmente sistemas para evitarlo??😢

Of course.. it’s Paris not Delhi or Pakistan.

Year of 2024! You still building Paris?!

Girl, I'll be so real, that river is gonna stay nasty even during the Olympics

The rumor is that this project would take a week if the employees worked normal shifts

Then they’d have to explain and apologize for the Algerians that they shot and threw in the river after the war.

Paristan

Cleaning can be avoided if human taking care if it

Narrator's voice sounds like it's a AI generated voice

Nope.

Pepe le pew

Can it be done? NO, parisian are rude after all

Public sewage should be banned and instead it should be provided public toilets and baths to use manure as fertilizer and bio gas and irrigate trees with grey wastewater and natural soaps

I'm pretty sure that the reason behind these sudden heatwaves is the Sun being active right now, unleashing solar flares.

Answer: No. You can clean your local beach, you can clean your local park, heck you can clean your entire country and take all the pollution out of the environment the world over but tomorrow it'll be back and that's because humanity never addresses the cause of anything. Instead our overall behavior is just to seek anecdotes for symptoms but not their causes. Caffeine for sleepiness instead of fixing why we're sleepy, ozembic for obesity instead of fixing why we're obese, and machines that filter green house gases out of the air instead of stopping the continued creation of man made green house gases. The French can take every piece of trash out of the Siene and the water can be purified to drinking quality but tomorrow it'll be contaminated again by our throw away material polluting globalized way of life, the nitrogen & sewage dumping from farms and sewers respectfully, as well as the the total dirth of understanding of what makes a healthy river will mean that tomorrow the Siene will be filthy again. The world is fucked because we search for elaborate 'work-arounds' instead of just changing our behavior. It is an epidemic of the individual crises mimiced on a civilizational scale. The Siene is just a microcosm of the health of the global environment and it won't be fixed.

dirty river dirty city

WILL NOT GENERATE SIGNIFICANT MONEY.. MONEY ARE TIGHT FOR MANY WHILE PARIS R ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE FOR OVERESTIMATED ACCOMODATIONS, F&B, AND LUXURY ITEMS/ TO ME TOKYO 2020 IS PERFECT TIME AND SPACE/VENUE

How about cleaning up your main river before lecturing the world on carbon?
