A melting polar bear and a pedal-powered Christmas tree

I went to Copenhagen today, the first day of COP15. I met this cute little polar bear at Kongens Nytorv – but unfortunately he was melting down! Symbolic?

This Christmas tree was interesting. It is powered by the people, that is, the Christmas lights are run by pedal power. Its a brilliant idea I think. It might be representing the enormous bicycle-culture in Copenhagen...but of course its also showing the brilliance of sustainable energy!

Enjoy the next two weeks! This is going to be interesting...
