Eiffel Tower will be less twinkly to save energy
The famous Eiffel Tower in Paris is ready to do its part to be more Earth-friendly. The tower, covered in 20,000 light bulbs, usually twinkles for 10 minutes every hour throughout the evening.The practice started in January of 2000. Now, the tower is going to cut back on the twinkles and only twinkle for 5 minutes of every evening hour. Tower managers say it won't actually make much difference because the lights don't use all that much electricity but, it's the thought that counts.
I think it's pretty impressive any time the Eiffel Tower wants to make a statement. I wonder if people will actually notice or if only people that have read about it will notice (and know it isn't actually making all that much difference).
