It boggles the mind to consider just how many lights illuminate our city and residential streets, and though some places (such as New York) draw on the grid far more than others, it's a global conservation issue that needs to be addressed, stat.

Well, efforts are underway to green up the way that we keep our streets well-lit...but who knew that it could become such a figurative and literal exercise with the proposal of eye-catching, power grid free bioluminescent trees!

What do you think of this form of alterni-light?

Is it the wave of the future or a dangerous way to test the limits of Mother Nature?
