It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's........the Eiffel Tower

Even the Eiffel Tower is out to save the planet.

On Thursday evening, as scientists and officials put finishing touches on a long-awaited report about global warming, the Paris landmark will switch off its 20,000 flashing light bulbs that run up and down the tower and illuminate the French capital's skyline.

The Eiffel Tower's lights account for about 9 percent of the monument's total energy consumption of 7,000 megawatt-hours per year.

Quiz time. Is this trite, pathetic, foolish or all three.
Maybe next the Eiffel Tower will develop a cure for AIDS.
