The green lights for the 1st arrondissement

Until January 15th, 2010, the 1st arrondissement of Paris will be illuminated with green decorations. As part of operation Paris illumine Paris, some places have the privilege of being decorated with recycled elements but equally magic to the “traditional” non-ecological ones. The Rue de Richelieu, now boasts over 200 meters, 10 diagonal cross hung from lampposts in the street lighting. These are illuminated by LEDs, which are installed on  collected multicolored plastic bottles. Place André Malraux has as some Christmas trees a bit special one: 4 meters high, they are made entirely of plastic bottles!
This entire operation of ecofriendly decorating has been designed by Fabrice Peltier, the founder of DesignPack Gallery. This company is specialized in the art of packaging and offers a selection of Christmas gifts consisting exclusively of works and objects made from recycled packaging.
