Make all light bulbs in the UK power saving and other environmental petitions

After hearing on the news about the petition against pay per mile road tax, I decided to check out the petitions web site and see what else they had on there.

As you know I'm an advocate of the power saving light bulb, so I was pleased to see that someone had already started a petition to ban the use of non power saving light bulbs in the UK.

At current it only has 252 signatures, which unfortunately probably isn't going to make the government sit up and listen. So it's time to push the benefits of power saving light bulbs and show to people what a difference they can make.

So if you too feel the way I do about these things, pop over to the site and sign the petition, it only takes about a minute and most importantly it's giving you a voice.

Another good petition for power saving light bulbs is to levy a tax on energy inefficient light bulbs so that their long term financial and environmental cost is visible in their retail price. This has way more signatures on it so far, and would be a good start towards the total banning of non energy efficient light bulbs.

One last one, make solar panels compulsory on all new build houses & to subsidise fitting of solar panels & other proven forms of energy conservation on existing housing.

Remember there are many ways you can make a difference, even something as simple as changing a single light bulb can contribute to lowering C02 levels and saving you money.
