Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

A birth, a tree...
In France, and more particularly in the Pays de la Loire region, a project was launched in 2015, but the effectiveness of the project is less than the ambition to plant a tree for every birth in the Pays de la Loire region.
Now the communes have a real objective, which we can see growing! As soon as a birth is planned, a tree is planted in the communes of the Pays de la Loire region. This investment allows us to save our ecosystem and above all our planet which has been suffering from forest fires for years...
The project "One birth, one tree planted" would therefore be a precious support to raise awareness and mobilize our population. This is why the "One birth, one tree" operation was born. Each baby in the Loire region = 40,000 births per year in the Pays de la Loire will be able to become the godfather of a tree which is a symbol of life and growth.
Thus the region is committing the municipalities and public establishments
of inter-municipal cooperation (EPCI) in a virtuous dynamic.
With 1,238 municipalities and 69 EPCIs, the Pays de la Loire region
and the first to offer a subsidy for planting trees.
It will be able to see an increase in the planting of trees in its region,
by about 40,000 per year. This is wonderful for our planet!
Some municipalities and associations in France have already been participating in this programme for a long time, but on their own scale, and without subsidies... With the help of the region, planting a tree does not incur any other costs. If others are doing it without subsidies, why not you with?
In France, about 2.5 new trees are planted every second, that is 80 million new trees per year. With about 760,000 births per year in France that would be almost 1 million more trees planted which is huge! Share this movement and this objective so that other regions try to implement this project for our future and our ecological transition.
