One study reported on the Center for Global Development found that Americans use more electricity on lights during the holidays than El Salvador uses all year. You can reduce your energy use by buying energy-efficient LED string lights. You can also get smart lights and schedule them to go on and off at your preferred times, so they aren’t left on 24/7.
Alternatively, if you’d like to use no energy, you can purchase solar-powered holiday lights. They’ll source energy from the sun during the day and be ready to light up at night.
