Chamonix Chalet news

Chamonix has launched a new blog detailing its efforts to improve the eco credentials of the town. Good news! I heard a while ago that they were going to work towards the ISO 14001 certification, and it’s great to read of some definite steps being taken.

The’ve written a rather lovely statement to start it off:

Because every year we see the glaciers melting…
Because, here, our environment is sacred…
Because we owe everything to Mont Blanc…
Because the mountain is fragile…
Because our environment is sensitive…
Help us to protect our surroundings…
To seek a new balance between development and protection of the mountains.

We hope very much to be working with them in these initiatives, and hope that it proves popular!
