Light bulb retailers league table

If every household in the country used energy efficient light bulbs, we would save enough energy to close down two power stations. This makes using energy efficient light bulbs one of the easiest and most effective ways an individual can tackle climate change. Yet most bulbs on sale are still the old-fashioned incandescent type – an out-dated and highly inefficient technology.

Greenpeace now calls on retailers to take the lead in ensuring inefficient bulbs are taken off the shelves. A new league table names the best retailers, that have taken steps to do so, and exposes the worst.
