Aujourd'hui, on a le choix de
décider comment créer son énergie ; le choix de ne plus polluer, d'être un consommateur averti , économe et de prendre l'avenir de notre planète en main.
Ireland yesterday became the first country in the world to ban the traditional lightbulb.
Householders will be forced to switch to new long-life low-energy bulbs in 12 months' time.
New legislation is being introduced banning the sale of the normal incandescent lightbulb from January, 2009.
As the normal lightbulb expires, householders will have to replace them with the more environmentally friendly long-life bulb which uses far less energy.
Consumers will save €185m in electricity costs every year as a result of the measure.
The minimum energy efficiency standards for lighting will be introduced from 2009.
These standards will result in an effective ban on the sale of traditional lightbulbs.
According to the minister of environment, the aim of the measure was to completely end the use of these lightbulbs across the country.
"By getting rid of these bulbs we will save 700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year," he added.
