The Great Light Bulb Exchange
It’s Earth Day, 2008. What have you done in the past year to help reverse the environmental damage that we’re inflicting on our home, planet earth? Have you reduced the number of times you order take away because of the number of bags and plastic containers they give you? Have you stopped taking long showers to try and save water? Have you starting bringing your own shopping bag to the supermarket? Have you stopped printing every single email or document but considered carefully if you really need a hard copy? Have you changed your incandescent bulbs for more energy-efficient compact florescent bulbs?
Well, if you haven’t changed your bulbs, you’re in luck. For those of you in Singapore, here’s your chance to change all the incandescent light bulbs in your house for energy-saving bulbs. For free. That’s right, you read correctly–for free.
It’s the Great Light Bulb Exchange. Bring us one of your incandescent light bulbs (working or broken) and we’ll give you a new energy-saving compact florescent light (CFL). No strings attached. (Well, just tell us how much you love Yahoo! Answers.) If you bring two old light bulbs, we’ll give you two CFLs. No gimmicks, no sales pitch, nothing. It’s just our way of getting the community to go green. And hey, you’ll be saving money on your electricity bill too.
Here are the details:
Venue: Newton Hawker Center Public Carpark
Date: 22nd April 2008
Time: 5pm
The Yahoo! crew will be there for one hour to exchange bulbs with you. Plus, the first 1,000 folks will also get some Yahoo! goodies. For more information, see the Green Movement 2008 group on Flickr.
So make green your favourite colour and come get your new CFLs.
Looking forward to seeing you,
