Australia's going to become the first country to completely phase out the incandescent light bulb. By replacing the common bulb with energy efficient compact fluorescents, Australians will cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 4 million tons a year. 
(Heck, we can't even get the White House to believe their own scientists' reports on global warming.)
That's the equivalent of taking more than a million cars off the roads down under.
(Milwaukee County Chief Executive Scott Walker wouldn't like that last part; his mass transportation plans promise a car in every garage. Read here.)We've made the change to compact fluorescents in the LipsYard basement, but are still using the naughty 'Edision era' bulbs upstairs until dimmable CPFs are perfected.
Every Green Thursday, LipsYard will deal with an issue vital to our global environment.
