Forget bike and car rental schemes – the new way to get around in Paris is by electric scooter. Cityscoot has launched a rental scheme in the capital, giving people a cheap and easy way to travel. And for the increasing number of French people concerned about the environment, it’s eco-friendly too.

More and more French people are buying local food from small producers as they strive to become conscientious consumers. Amid this shift, eco-friendly supermarket Biocoop is on the rise. But are sustainable credentials enough to steer shoppers away from the convenience of major chains?

Despite being far better for the environment, sales of electric cars haven't picked up. But research suggests that by 2022, they could actually work out cheaper to buy and run than conventional vehicles. Could cutting the cost convince people to start saving the environment?

Though many auto manufacturers and analysts claim that electric vehicles are the future of the car industry, they account for just 0.1% of global sales at present, with low fuel prices causing a slowdown. Is the EV dream fading, or is this just a blip in an inevitable electric revolution?
