New Delhi, April 16

Environmental group Greenpeace on Monday launched a national campaign to phase out "energy-inefficient" incandescent light bulbs from the country by 2010. It called for moving from the incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights so that the country's carbon dioxide emissions can go down by 4 per cent. It hopes to push for a national legislation to phase out incandescent light bulbs. "Such a legislation will be the first step towards implementing wide-scale energy efficiency measures which will tackle India's energy crisis and help take a definite step towards fighting climate change," Greenpeace Climate and Energy Campaigner, Mr K. Srinivas, told presspersons here.
