Nice Carnival 2010 : The King of the Blue Planet
As every year, when arrives the month of February and this during 2 weeks, the Nice city is in holiday. Because it’s the period of symbolic Nice Carnival.
For this new edition 2010, a subject which connected closely the current events was chosen "The King of the Blue Planet". From February 12th till February 28th, 2010, one of the biggest carnivals of the world puts itself at an ecology time. No year happens without novelties; in 2010 it’s the "ecologically correct" holiday which was organized with care. Floats and suits redraw the history of the man on our planet, but especially its errors and its recent awareness on the pollution, the climatic reheating, the deforestation etc.
This subject was followed to the organization of this demonstration. The ornamental frescoes were made on recyclable covers, leds replaced the too greedy light bulbs in energy, screens are in low consumption and generating sets were simply abolished. Gigantic cardboard elephant dough was foreseen to roam in streets and to harvest papers variously. It was however difficult to abolish or to replace float and carriages, but the organization of the carnival undertook to pay a carbon tax according to the consumption of these vehicles.
That a demonstration of such dimension be at a time of the ecology is the first!
Let us greet so this beautiful initiative and what this carnival period brings you of the enjoyment and a small grain of madness!
