‘Zöld’ karácsonyi díszben fog pompázni Budapest! – szókincsfejlesztő feladattal

minden

Habár az idei karácsony a világ minden részén más lesz a megszokottól, Budapest igazi környezetbarát karácsonyi dekorációval várja az ünnepet velünk együtt.

This year, it will not be the kind of Christmas that we’re used to – but the city will at least be decked out in bright decorations made from recycled and energy-saving materials.

Alongsidethe recently imposed restrictions around town, there are a few things to be cheerful about. There has been more and more emphasis on a green approach to citywide development, including increased cycle lanes.

This change will also be reflected in Christmas decorations this year, as Budapest will be adorned with new, environmentally friendly, recycled ornaments from the 29 November, the first Sunday of Advent.

Merry green Christmas

“The decorations are made using recycled plastic and aluminium, as well as sugar cane. For the first time, bio-degradable and recyclable materials will light up Budapest,” says city mayor Gergely Karácsony.

Without the crowds of last year around the Basilica and Vörösmarty tér, the squares and streets will at least not feel so empty. And the ornaments themselves will be lighter, make it easier on the trees.

Those on the section running along Andrássy út to Oktogon, and around Városháza park near Deák tér will be illuminated with lights of 8.5kw, which means 40% less energy consumption compared to previous years.
