A village primary school has adopted an eco-friendly approach to lighting up its Christmas trees - pedal power.

Kirkcolm School near Stranraer in south west Scotland is taking part in a pilot project developed by inventor Antony Berretti from near Newton Stewart.
The aim is to get children to understand how energy is produced and how it can be managed for the various devices that during the Christmas period burn up carbon. Changing from tungsten to LED lights saves lots of energy, but providing that energy using a bike generator can save even more. Energy storage is via batteries recovered from recycling yards so that we can keep the cost of any system to a minimum.
many thanks to the bbc
