New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, announced that the Rockefeller Christmas Tree will consume less energy this year because it will light up thanks to 30,000 energy-efficient multi-colored LEDs (light emitting diodes) wired with up to five miles of cables. The consumption should go down from 3,510 to 1,297 kilowatt hours per day just from changing from incandescent bulbs.

 

Tradition of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree started back in 1931 and to make it more special this year, apart from LED lighting, when the tree will be taken down it will be chopped and used by Habitat to build Humanity houses.

The ceremony will start on November 28, with the tree lighting from 5:30 am to 11:30 pm all days till the first week of January.
