This one won't be too long, but before you get all upset, I'm going to be making up for it next week. Like I did with Thanksgiving, I'll be posting a special four part series about Christmas (and Hanukkah to a lesser extent)! Starting Monday and running through Thursday, I'll be posting four ways to make sure that you have a Green Holiday Season! So don't forget to check back in a day early next week to get all the latest Green Tips!
Anyway, on to Green Tip #56. This one will be very much similar to Green Tip #7, only much more high tech. For those of you that remember (or have just read by following the link), Green Tip #7 discussed how we can cut down on the number of lights that we use by everyone wearing the helmets with the lights on them, just like miners do. Well, I think it's about time we took that one step further.
While Green Tip #7 was a good start, we'd still have to deal with the electricity that's used to run the headlamps. What if instead we all had night vision goggles? Obviously we'd only need them at night or on cloudy days, but just think of all the electricity we'd be saving! No more street lights or car headlights or electronic billboards. There might be one huge downside, though. Usually night vision is monochromatic, either everything you see is shades of gray or green. And that would make traffic lights awfully difficult to see and understand. Hm, maybe there is such a thing as something being too Green (pun intended).
