LED Lights In Japan Powered By Used Cooking Oil

Tourists look at cherry trees decorated with light-emitting diode (LED) illuminations along the Meguro River on a bridge during the Megurogawa Minnano Illumination 2016 event at night in Tokyo, Japan, on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016. Organizers of an elaborate mid-winter light display running until January along the Meguro River in downtown Tokyo are going off-grid as a way to limit harm to the environment: Biodiesel fuel from used cooking oil collected from residents and restaurants in parts of the surrounding neighborhood is being used to power more than 420,000 LED lights along the river.
