On the news today Hilary Benn, the Environment Secretary has announced plans to phase out the traditional light bulb. The idea is that by 2011 all high-energy light bulbs to be taken off the shelves.
Mr Benn estimated that the move would save five million tonnes of CO2 a year and take the UK closer to its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2050.
I really like this idea, it is certainly a simple, but effective step to make the world a slightly better place.
