Environmental Impact

Environmental Impact

Electricity and its availability is a concern but not on its own. Environmental impact with green house gases, and the use of mercury in fluorescents is a major concern as well. The hazardous results in the use of our current lighting technology is costing us more than an immediate financial cost.

The consequences are seen in the changes causing irregular weather patterns and drastic acts of nature.  We must take measures to minimize the burden on the environment.  Soon the damage may become irreversible. 

We are slowly loosing our most precious possession... the earth!  Earth is where we live.  If not Earth ... Where?
