Local Governments and Communities Could Save Big

I've come upon a few articles about some cities, such as Seattle and Boston, to have saved loads of money by switching their lighting to LED lights. Here's a recent one from LEDs Magazine: LED street lights saving serious cash in Seattle.

Seattle is already saving $300,000 every year and estimates saving $2.4 million a year after all lights are replaced by 2014. 2.4 million dollars!!?!  That's tremendous!  Can you imagine what our local cities, governments, and school systems could do with savings like that?  Not only would it help relieve some of these big budget cuts, it would be putting less of a strain on our environment, too.  That’s what you call a Green Economy.
