I remember blogging about the “supposed” power crisis years ago – one of my solutions was to ban incandescent light bulbs. For me it was the the most obvious thing to do, I liken this approach to banning the pouring of toxic waste into streams. Or banning cars from achieving a WOF if they are too “smokey”.

I don’t think its okay for people with more money to be able to buy incandescent bulbs in the same sense I don’t think its okay for people with more money to drive around in smokey cars. And I certainly don’t think its okay for people to pour toxic waste into the streams.

WHY? Because its not fair for everybody else. The majority of this society actually cares about our planet or can’t afford to do such things. And who wants to swim in toxic sludge?

So when I read about Lynne Warren (Sat Herald) of Newlands buying a sack of light bulbs it got me thinking how small minded and selfish we can be. Forget about your “rights” to be able to waste – I hope Lynne comes too and throws that sack in the trash. What about getting real and supporting a new greener world?

I have to do some work now.. so stay tuned for more of “Dans Rants“.
