One of the most festive parts of the holiday season is undoubtedly the decorations. There's nothing quite like a neighborhood full of blinking lights to help get your in the spirit. However, this is obviously a huge (and ultimately needless) waste of energy -- especially when you consider all the alternative ways to decorate your house that don't require electricity.
Here's a novel compromise -- a set of Christmas lights that run on people power. Check out the video to see how they function, and then go to the couple's blog to see how they constructed this unique little display.
It's not the mind-blowingly awesome spectacle du holiday glitz that you might be used to, but it's better than nothing -- plus, it's totally carbon neutral. Rock on.
