Broadway Goes Green

The lights in New York City’s famed theater district will be brighter than ever, in a good way. In an effort called Broadway Goes Green, the city has joined forces with local theaters to outline sustainable goals to decrease the area’s impact on the city’s overburdened electrical grid. The green makeover includes washing costumes with eco-friendly detergent, using low-watt compact-florescent bulbs, reducing paper usage, opting for more efficient air-conditioning systems, and limiting fuel-guzzling transportation when touring. If Broadway can go green, maybe there’s hope for Las Vegas to turn off a few of its lights.
