Light Bulb Ban.

Zoomup
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57407233


Energy minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan said: "We're phasing out old inefficient halogen bulbs for good, so we can move more quickly to longer-lasting LED bulbs, meaning less waste and a brighter and cleaner future for the UK.


But don't the new L.E.D. lamps contain more electronic stuff, all eventually  destined for landfill?

    I think Zoom has a fair point.

    There seems to be a tendency to ignore the (sometimes) significant amount of energy, toxins CO2 etc etc used in the supply chain of manufacture (including transport and building costs) of many energy saving plans. Throw the rose tinted glasses away and see the real figures . Of course people with agendas (a lot of politicians) stragely ignore that.


    Example, my local household waste centre closed a few years back, resulted in people making more/longer car journeys or even increased flytipping. That saving had a real cost to the enviroment that was ignored
