Ireland has made a new step in the fight against climate change , is that, since January 2009 prohibits the sale of conventional bulbs, the Irish have just one year to accommodate this new measure and change all their old bulbs by the so-called low consumption.
This will involve a energy savings of 185 million in energy bills for Irish consumers, as reported by government sources.
John Gormley, Minister of Environment noted that the traditional light bulb filaments that we all know "was invented in the era of steam" and therefore, is nonsense, greatly advanced in certain fields of lag behind in technology and other aspects. The minister said the measure "will avoid 700,000 tons of emissions of carbon dioxide every year."
is an initiative that will enable energy savings by the consumer and is "a simple but essential step against climate change " as members have said the environmental organization Greenpeace .
This measure will be adopted by other countries, so it is envisaged that from 2010 to join Australia's ban on the sale and use the traditional bulb.
is a priori as effective at the same time interesting, is that, as previously stated, makes no sense to replace many traditional developments, and that depending on the field, such as that of the bulbs, continue using traditional because they are "the lifetime" when it has been shown that low-power, are really effective and would allow direct action against climate change and will be a large scale if the measure is adopted by most countries.
