I have thought about getting a low-energy light bulb, but what is the point? My single light bulb will make no difference at all!

The point is that if you do your bit, then it will make a difference!

One lightbulb! You must be joking. There live a billion+ people in China, they will vive out any saving I make even before I make it to the shop. Get real!

Get real yourself :-) If we do not bother trying, the planet will not have a chance.

I own a Honda auto parts shop and if I were to save the planet I should give up my business and die of hunger because I can't provide for me and my family.

Oldpapa is right. We must all do our bit. What we don't do today can not be put off until tomorrow. In 100 years time they will be angry that U did not bother with the low-energy light bulb - as sea water is running into their houses.

I take the bike everyday. Because it has just about stopped raining in London, I am able to ride everyday and save a ton of cash on bus, car etc. I take it shopping and to work. Just perfect.

aloha i been living low carbon impact since 1980s, riding bikes since 1970, doing much recycling, living outdoor mostly, eating local grown organic foods, foraging for wild foods in harvest seasons. taking short showers, jumping in river or streams to cool off. Learning deeply of Gaia Ecology climate patterns & cycles with natural energy geometry we use balancing in Permaculture = organic homesteading, like traditional, with natural design sciences of harvesting naturenergy, local fertilizing & animal care. I also teach Permaculture since mid 90s & now about Peak-oil crisis, global warming & weather cycles with Deep Ecology patterns. spiraling 2 u micheal sunanda Oness press

WOW! You must be one of a kind. Do you know what your carbon footprint is?

I :
* Have turned down the thermostat to 18C/64F
* Walk and use public transport when practicable
* Switch off the computer more often when I am not using it
* Purchased low energy light bulbs

We have also fitted 6 low energy light bulbs in our house.

We have just started doing the weekly shopping with the family next door. We still shop once every week, but rather than drive two cars to the same supermarket, we now save some CO2 each week. Anyone with other ideas?
