BLISS: Bright Ideas for Planet Earth
BLISS stands for Better Lighting in Sustainable Streets. BLISS is a European project which was set up to achieve a reduction in street lighting energy consumption. The project participants are St. Helens in the UK, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Interleuven in Belgium and Kaiserslautern in Germany. Together, these four European local councils intend to drastically reduce street lighting costs by using new cutting-edge technologies. We are looking for bright ideas for Planet Earth.
The BLISS 'Round Table' has, as its name suggests, no head, implying that every partner city has equal status in the project. It can be looked upon as the symbol of the BLISS order which flourishes under St. Helens, leadpartner in the project.
