#GOINSEINE
The Seine River, which runs through Paris, has a long reputation of being picturesque, but polluted. However, France is on a mission to clean up the Seine in advance of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Several athletic events are scheduled to be held on the famous river, so it needs to be safe for people to swim in its waters. When the river is clean and the games are over, the Seine will be accessible for the general public to swim in as well. Paris officials are planning to open special areas designated for swimming.

You might not need to bring your bags if you’re flying to Japan. Japan Airlines is launching a trial service that will let foreign travelers rent clothes to wear during their trip. Their Any Wear, Anywhere program is a sustainability initiative aimed at reducing the weight that planes have to carry. If there’s less luggage, they can use less fuel. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your clothes getting lost in transit.
