The Nice Côte d’Azur Urban Community is launching a large campaign to raise awareness about urban cleanliness starting this Wednesday, November 25th, and running until December 8th, 2009. This campaign will be featured across several platforms such as:
– Posters in Nice shops (750 placements),

– The distribution of 10,000 street codes to the general public via the main city hall, branch city halls, the environmental house, and the environmental brigade.
This operation aims to raise awareness about respecting one’s city, neighborhood, and street through a “street code” composed of 10 tips for keeping the city clean.
