Times Square Ball Goes Green


The Times Square New Year's Eve ball is celebrating its centennial by going green. The new 6ft ball, weighing about 1,100lbs, is covered with 9,576 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that use the same amount of electricity as 10 toasters. Check out the full BBC article about it.
