12-Orono Weekly-Tinies, Wednesdaiy, October 10, 1996 'Compact fluorescents Prsu Iie are one bright answer the Iand that moves Anv light bulb that is energv effi- the energv used hv a regular IÇ-watt dient, economical and long lasting deserves to be better known. That's the premise behind the major pro- motion launched by Ontario Hydro and Loblaws Companies. Loblaws is promotîng compact fluorescent light bulbs for sale across Ontario under the label "President's Chioice G.R.E.E.N. Enviornmentally Responsible Elec- tronic Light Bulbs." The light builbs will be featured at Loblaws, Zehirs and SuperCentre stores between September 17 and December 29. Ontario Hydro will provide a $5 rebate encouraging consumiers to try the light builbs by bringing the expected price dlown to $14.99. "We've had miany catis fromi consumers interested in saving elec- tricity who have been Lunable to find compact fluorescents in local stores, so we are delighted to join wt Loblaws," said Dane MacC'arthyý, Ontario Hydro's Vice Presidient of Energy Management. Compact fluorescents last abouit 10 times longer than standards in- candescent lamips. A 15 watt comn- pact fluorescent saves 75 per cent of bulb and is therefore most cost ef- fective in lamips that are regularly' turned on for s\eeal hours eacb day. Switcing f-rom 'a high-use 60-watt bulb to a 15 watt bulb could prevent thie burning of an amount of enierg equivalent to bur- ning 90 pounids &(40 Kg) of coal and consequenîly, the emission of 190 pounds (85 Kg_) of greenhtous"e gases. The Lbascomnpactil'uoresýent ligbit bulb promotion is a $750,00 pilot program for Ontarlo 1Hydro preparing the way for a miorce xte sive lighting incentive caminpaign next year. "Right now our goalsare to help mnake comnpactfuoecet accessi- ble to theage consumeir," said MacCarthy. "Mosýt stores, don't stock thle blbs because there hasn't been a miarket for them to date, and there hasni't been a market because stores haven't -tocýked themn. -We're expecting this, campaign' wvith LoIblaws will help change thiat,' lie said. (TC-A controversial and unprec- edented scbeme is under way in, Presque Isle, a beautiful and fasci- natîng six-mile peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Erie, U.S.A. If the scheme is succesýsful, somne will see it as a triumph of civil engineer- ing over nature. To others, it will be an unmitigated ecological disaster.
