BanTheBulb.org promotes energy efficient lighting, but neglects LED lights Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Energy saving is an essential part of the EU's strategy to reduce co2 emissions, but 80 percent of home lighting today uses highly inefficient incandescent bulbs that convert only five percent of the energy they consume into light. This month, "at an EU conference hosted by Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, the European Union's leaders announced their intention to ban incandescent light bulbs, for the 490 million people living within the EU's 27 countries, by 2010," according to the website.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs contaminate the environment with 30,000 pounds of mercury each year Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

These bulbs substantially reduce co2 emissions due to their high energy efficiency. To learn more, visit www.BetterLifeGoods.

EcoLEDs.com launches energy efficient replacement bulb for 40 watt light bulbs; uses only 5 watts of electricity, lasts 50,000 hours Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Because of its extreme energy efficiency, the light reduces co2 emissions by 3,570 pounds over its life, compared to a typical 40-watt light bulb. It also saves consumers $178.50 in electricity over its life, more than paying for itself in savings on the electric bill. "This small, simple light can help consumers greatly reduce their environmental footprint while helping prevent global warming," said EcoLEDs founder Mike Adams, an outspoken advocate of natural health and environmental protection.

Switching to LED lighting could save America billions of dollars each year in electricity costs while dramatically reducing co2 emissions and helping the country meet its energy independence goals by 2020. The EcoLEDs E27 2W LED lights currently retail for $39 each. They can be purchased online at www.BetterLifeGoods.com For more information, visit http://www.EcoLEDs.

Bush Administration announces effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through "wishful thinking" (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We urge all Americans to take up Wishful Thinking to lower co2 emissions and, if necessary, to even use up their birthday wishes in this national effort." Bush's science team approved the scientific validity of the plan, citing strong evidence that wishing gets things done. "Nearly half the voters wished that Bush would be elected president, and that came true," said one science officer. "There's no reason to believe the same effort of Wishful Thinking won't also produce a second miracle.

To help businesses comply with the administration's Wishful Thinking policy of co2 emissions reduction, the Bush Administration will issue small copper brass lamps (made in China) to all polluters in the United States, along with instructions to rub the genie lamps and make three wishes before firing up any coal plant, automobile or manufacturing facility.

New LED lighting technology embraced by consumers, Total Cost of Ownership saves money over incandescent, fluorescent bulbs Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Plus, our 10-watt LED light reduces co2 emissions by 9,000 pounds, producing only about 1,080 pounds of CO2 instead of the 10,150 pounds produced from a 100-watt incandescent bulb. The Total Cost of Ownership for a 10-watt LED light bulb is $100 for the light, and $54 in electricity for producing 50,000 hours of light. Thus, the LED light is $154 vs. $550 or so (electricity + the cost of replacement bulbs) for incandescent lights. Which brings us to the question: How much would you rather pay for 50,000 hours of light? $154 or $550?

Change one 100-watt light bulb into a 10-watt EcoLEDs light, and you'll save $450 in electricity and reduce co2 emissions by an astonishing 9,000 pounds over the life of the bulb. That's a measurable, immediate difference made possible by an innovative product delivered by a company that actually cares about saving our planet from climate change disaster. The debate on climate change is over. Now is a time for action Personally, I'm tired of waiting around for other corporations to do the right thing. Sometimes, if you want something done right, you've gotta do it yourself.

You can help stop global warming starting right now If you're interested in reducing the co2 emissions and energy usage in your own home right now, using the brightest and most energy efficient LED lighting products available in the world today, check out my new company EcoLEDs (www.EcoLEDs.com). In the coming days and weeks, I'll be writing about lighting technologies, covering incandescent, fluorescent and LED lighting products.

Each bulb will be shown with its associated co2 emissions and landfill statistics, as well as any possible harm to the environment caused by the use of hazardous substances. In all, you'll soon see the most exhaustive investigation ever conducted on consumer lighting technologies and their implications for the future of our planet. All test results will be publicly published, and the testing equipment used will be clearly listed so that anyone in the world can duplicate our results if they wish to confirm our findings. This will be an eye-opening report.

Did you know, for example, that America could meet the Kyoto treaty guidelines for reduced co2 emissions right now by switching to energy-efficient LED lighting? Did you know that the California power plant energy crisis from a few years ago could have been entirely avoided if every household in the state had simply switched to a single LED light bulb? Twenty percent of the electricity used in the United States goes to power lights, and an astonishing ninety percent of that electricity is right now wasted.

Earth changes, nature's backlash and lessons yet to be learned by humans (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: With modern humans engaged in highly destructive behaviors towards nature (pollution, toxic chemicals production, co2 emissions, abuse of animals, use of Roundup herbicides, etc.), did you ever wonder what nature would do to humans if it had the chance? In a recent CounterThink cartoon called "Human RoundUp,", the trees march on human cities, spraying "Human RoundUp" as workers flee the campus of Monsanto, the company that manufactures RoundUp.
