This year, as part of the “Rendez-vous de l’Environnement” of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, the Maison de l’Environnement of the City of Nice is organizing the 6th edition of the Ecocitizens’ Day, which will be held this Saturday and will offer everyone many activities and events to inform and/or teach sustainable practices…
The program includes exhibitions like waste recycling, activity stands for the little ones, and the preparation of recipes without food waste and the making of cosmetics with “almost nothing…” for the adults.
