If you allow nature to recover, it will. Hopefully, London will be next.

The @Telegraph approves of swimming in the Seine. Of course they do. Everyone, be there left or right, prefers places in which it is clean and healthy to live and be. London next?

Incredible scenes as the Seine opens for public swimming after 100 years. Just decades ago, this iconic river was declared functionally dead. Look at it now! 💙🏊♀️🇫🇷

Paris finally separates storm and sewage water, so that storm overflows don't gush sewage into the Seine. Result: the Seine is now swimmable for the 1st time in 100+ years. (NYC's supposedly been going to separate stormwater from sewage water since 1972.)
