Electric bulb swap in return for electronic waste
The action of acquisition of electric energy saving bulbs in return of electrical and electronic waste is under way. The recent collection event which took place in the Wigry Lake National Park resulted in output amounting to 30 tons waste equipment gathered. That is the way the Ministry of the Environment tends to compensate the climate impact generated from electric energy consumed by the COP14 Climate Change Conference that was held in December 2008 in Poznan. Waste exchange points as organised by Ministry of the Environment serve concerned residents of the localities adjacent to the National Park areas who are interested in acquisition of energy saving electric bulbs in exchange of their electrical and electronic waste. A respective number of energy saving electric bulbs rated 23 Watt, thread E27 are to be distributed per each kilogram of electrical and/or electronic waste. Distribution of the total of 35,000 such type bulbs will entirely offset that the COP14 CO2 emission. Recently, as much as 3340 bulbs were distributed in the locality of Krzywe near the Wigry Lake National Park. The present idea to swap household electrical and/or electronic waste for electric energy saving bulbs was inaugurated at the Bialowieska Forest National Park in support of negotiations between the local communities concerned and the Ministry in relation to expansion of the Park acreage. |
