P2 Impact of Bulbs

[Sue Schauls <sue.schauls@uni.edu>]

Apology for cross posting and please forward to appropriate regional P2 listserves.

The Small Business Pollution Prevention Center has recently posted the Impact of Pollution Prevention tools at http://www.iwrc.org/SBPPC/index.htm

 

I hope that the data presented in this project is useful to your clients and in assisting with more meaningful measurements as to the actual impact of P2 by quantifying the toxins reduced when P2 suggestions are implemented.

Pollution Prevention Impact of Fluorescent Bulbs

Incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes are the most common lighting used in businesses today. Switching to either compact fluorescent or low-mercury fluorescent bulbs can have a major impact on energy cost savings, as well as lessen your contribution to energy production-related pollution, including global warming.
