Environmental aid calls for no Christmas lights

In view of the energy crisis, the German Environmental Aid is calling for Christmas lights to be abandoned in cities and private households. "This winter it should be a matter of course that both the Christmas lights in cities and those in houses and apartments will be dispensed with," said Federal Managing Director Jürgen Resch of the editorial network Germany (RND).

"In view of the war in Ukraine, the energy shortage, but also for reasons of climate protection, we should pause for a moment," said Resch. He pointed out the power consumption: "The private lighting orgies alone cause a power consumption of over 600 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year - as much as a medium-sized city with 400,000 inhabitants consumes in a year." cities and communities.

Resch proposed a lighting limit of one tree per city and municipality. "Perhaps this can be reduced to one lighted tree per community," he explained. "Consciously doing without here, saving and showing solidarity could even make this Christmas season a very special one."
