On Friday I wrote about how the Lima district of San Borja planned to light an eco-friendly Christmas Tree using LED lights, wind power, solar power, and bicycles. As promised, here are several photos of the beautiful tree.

10 Bicycles in conjuction with a wind turbine and 2 small solar panels were used to power the tree's LED lights. (photo © Levi Novey)

The tree is attracting considerable interest. We ourselves plan to go back several more times to enjoy it. (photo © Levi Novey)
Thats cool. In my neighbourhood people don’t even use LED lamps on their trees. Cause they look to cold compared to conventional lights.
