A very good morning to all of you. Thank you for taking time off your busy schedule to attend my talk today. On behalf of the Ministry of Environment, I would like to talk about energy efficient lighting, and hopefully convince you to switch to a more environmentally-friendly type of lighting.
What is energy efficiency? It means to use less energy to provide the same level of energy service. An example would be insulating a house with less heating and cooling energy to achieve the same temperature. Another example would be installing fluorescent lights and/or skylights instead of incandescent lights to attain the same level of illumination. Efficient energy use is achieved primarily by means of a more efficient technology or process rather than by changes in individual behaviour.
You may think, : “Energy efficient lights are expensive and doesn’t glow brighter.” Although energy efficient lights cost more than the standard lights, it will save you money in the long run! For example, for every Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs for short) you use, it can save you over $US30 in electricity costs over the light’s period of use. It is true that CFLs don’t glow brighter, but it will save you electricity! Compared to the common incandescent lights, which are neither energy efficient nor environmentally friendly, it is a total contrast. Imagine what you could do with the money you have saved! You will be totally amazed at what energy efficient lights can do!
You can also save the environment by changing to the more environmentally-friendly choice. If the demand for energy services remains constant, improving energy efficiency will reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. This will save our environment and Earth in the long run.
The government will give out tax rebates on Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs and other energy efficient light bulbs. So what are you waiting for? Switch to Energy Efficient Lighting now!
Thank you for your kind attention.
