From Boulder's Daily Camera (October 5, 2007)
A new kind of light will be shining along Pearl Street Mall this holiday season.
Every year, downtown organizations team up with Boulder's Parks and Recreation Department to festoon trees with thousands of holiday lights. Now, city staffers are trying to replace traditional bulbs with light-emitting diodes, which use a fraction of the energy and can last as long as two decades.

Green said the city will educate downtown visitors about the new lights, in the hope of encouraging residents to make the switch themselves.

This sounds like a sensible plan that towns across America could imitate.
