The Eiffel Tower is going green to commemorate the climate talks that began this week in Paris.
The color comes from images of trees projected onto the famed tower. People can contribute trees, which cost 10 euros, via the mobile app or the website of the installation. Even better: for every tree purchased, a real tree will be planted in area affected by deforestation.
Trees will be projected every day through December 3rd from 6 P.M. to 1 A.M. The project, called "1 Heart 1 Tree," was designed by artist Naziha Mestaoui.
