The EU bandish the traditional incandescent bulbs

The experts of the Member States of EU have decided to banish the traditional incandescent bulbs throughout the EU by 2012. With a new generation of light bulbs, you can save energy and reduce by about 15 million tons per year emissions of C02. An average family that replaces incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps will do an economy from 25 to 50 euros.
Australia was the first country to ban the traditional lamps (by 2010), the U.S. instead will follow only between 2012 and 2014 (in Italy, the Finance Act 2008 had already banned them by 2011).
