714 Pounds of Coal to Power a 100-Watt Light Bulb for a Year - Here’s How to End the Madness

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

All in all, we generally take for granted our carbon footprint each time we flip the switch for light in our homes, businesses and schools. And yet, lighting “consumes about 19% of the world’s electric power, more than all nuclear and hydroelectric plants can produce together,” asserts Grant Feller of the World Economic Forum.
