Energy Efficient China.

It was recently announced the China has made a huge movement for the environment. China is now only producing energy efficient lightbulbs and banning the production of incandecent lightbulbs. Studies estimate that this could reduce global greenhouse emissions by 500 million tons annually.

This is a huge step for the environment because prior to this, energy efficient lightbulbs were more expensive than regular lightbulbs, but now, with China halting produciton of regular lightbulbs, energy effiecient ones will have to be cheeper. China produces 70 percent of the worlds lightbulbs, and so with energy efficient lightbulbs becoming more available, the price will have to go down. This makes the green choice also the more affordable choice. And most of the time, people don't do green because they have to spend extra money in order to be energy or water efficient. This will create a big pull toward energy efficient lightbulbs and thus make a huge impact on the greenhouse gas emissions.
