Polybrite: energy saving non toxic lightbulb
November 6, 2007
On the issue of global warming, carbon footprints, energy conservation and eco-friendly living, I have long held the opinion that the every day consumer would gladly make changes in lifestyle that benefit the environment if the products that make a less damaging impact were widely available at an affordable cost.
With increased environmental education raising awareness for the real need to make changes that are beneficial to our planet and to our community and family, more and more products are being developed to do just that, and it is a hopeful sign that it is not an insurmountable premise that the shift to positive change is doable.
In a Yahoo! business press release, it was announced that an indestructible mercury-free LED lightbulb developed by PolyBrite claiming to use 90 percent less energy and last up to 15 years or longer, will be marketed by Commerce Energy.
“This bulb is an exciting innovation and one that has synergy with Commerce Energy’s goals of helping customers save money and contribute to the improvement of the environment by using less energy,” states Steven S. Boss, Commerce Energy chief executive officer. “Finding ways to use energy more effectively and efficiently are among the benefits of a robust, competitive energy market. We’re pleased to stand with PolyBrite in making this safe, innovative product easy for consumers to find.”
Polybrite president and CEO Carl Scianna said,
“Since nearly 10 percent of home energy use is directly related to lighting, alone, these new bulbs will offer a way for consumers to control that cost, help the environment and still get the lighting they need.”
To learn more, Commerce Energy will be marketing the Polybrite light bulbs through its website.
