Replace old light bulbs with efficient lighting

Submitted By:   bhuwan007
Committers:  84
Date Created:  2008-02-15

Description: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has calculated that lighting uses 19 percent of global electricity produced. This electricity used for lighting is a major source of CO2 emissions - equivalent to 70 percent of that from the world’s cars and is three times more than emissions from aviation. A survey conducted by International Energy Agency (IEA) found that a global switch to efficient lighting systems would trim the world's electricity bill by nearly one-tenth. (World Energy Outlook, 2006). I commit to replacing burnt out light bulbs with efficient models such as LEDs and compact fluorescents.
