The Danes are very concerned about the environment, and this year's main Christmas tree lights Copenhagen untraditional way: a pedals.

So for the lights (LED) glow in the night, 15 volunteers must pedal to keep the 700 bulbs energized tree of 17 meters.

Besides being a very "green" to celebrate Christmas, will help to lower some kilos to bring cookies, Easter bread, chocolates and other goodies that appear on these dates.

The initiative actually has to do also with the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to be held in Copenhagen between 7 and 18 December.

This city has greatly enhanced cycling, with 350 kilometers of bike paths and one third of the population using this method as the main transport.
