It’s the Year of Setsuden in Japan, which Google tells me means “saving electricity'”; this means that the lavish Christmas illuminations that Tokyo usually sets up are a little hard to justify. Minna no Illumi has found a pretty neat solution to the problem, though, with an entirely biodiesel-powered display.
I mean it’s not just the fact that it’s run by biodiesel, even though that’s pretty handy, it’s that the 156 000 LED lights used in the display – which run along a stretch of Meguro River, and will be lit up til December 25 – are all powered by locally generated electricity, using fuel generated from waste oil from local homes and restaurants. So yay for yuletide innovation.
Have a lovely weekend.
