Manifestation Contre Pollution d'Air à Chamonix

[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] Protest against air pollution in Chamonix France. Anti air pollution demonstrators gather at a rally to hear speakers in the French alpine town of Chamonix France. Organisers stated around 1300 people marched along the Autoroute Blanche starting from the Tunnel du Mont Blanc to the Office of Tourism in Chamonix Mont Blanc, France town center to protest the continuing severe air pollution problems facing the town, and the lack of state government action on the problem. Protestors included the mayors and politicians from several local towns in the region including Chamonix Mont Blanc and Les Houches. Speakers mentioned continuing and growing health problems due to the poor air quality in the region, which exceeds the allowed governmental pollution limits close to 40 days per year and on some days now requires school children to stay indoors at recess. The sign reads in English "To refuse pollution is a political Choice" and in French "Refuser les Pollutions C'est un Choix Politique"
