In France, Holiday Skating Rinks Are an Unlikely Climate Battleground

Christmas cheer is competing with growing concern about the environmental cost of holiday rinks.

Though St.-Malo kept its rink, other French cities, including Bordeaux and Rennes, canceled theirs, citing concerns about the size of the carbon footprint needed to maintain them.

The holiday skating rink may seem an unlikely environmental battleground. But in France, debates have coalesced around them in part because of ambiguity over their “Frenchness” — with some seeing them as an unwanted import.
