18. Yes, I read somewhere Brice Lalonde was there (may be on a French site).

Edited on Wed Dec-10-08 07:18 PM by Mass

He was a very early environmentalist, when it was not yet fashionable in France to be green. He actually started when the Green Party was fairly lefty, and working on issues like sustainable development in Africa (I loved the leader then, Rene Dumont), then he was among those who got the Green Party out of the lefty fringed and made the green ideas mainstream in France, ran for president in the 81 (not a chance in the French system) worked for various governmental offices under Mitterrand and Chirac.

I guess being serious civil servant goes in the family.
