"That's why all of us, from both public and private sectors, must seek solutions that are readily available and easy to achieve like making the switch to 'clean lighting,'" stressed Senator Win Gatchalian, author of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, who called for collective action at the launch of the "Green Switch initiative" of Signify, the global leader in lighting, held early this year in Manila.
And one of the fastest ways to cut electricity consumption, costs, and carbon emissions is to switch to LED lighting, connected LED lighting, and solar lighting not just in our own homes, but also in offices, public and outdoor spaces, even roadways.
Reports have it that switching businesses and cities around the globe to LED lighting would eliminate 420 million tonnes of global CO2 emissions and save 850 TWh of energy. That's enough to power 380 million households a year!
