Laura Bush announced she is trying to do her part to green up the holiday events at the White House this year.

In addition to reusing ornaments from prior years, she also said the lights on the trees in the White House will have low-energy LED bulbs, and she encouraged Americans to use them when their holiday lights wear out to save energy.

More than 60,000 visitors are expected to visit the White House for tours, with 25 holiday receptions and seven dinners planned.
