LEDs
not only help your finances and keep your business or home safe, these lights
can also save the environment.
Everyone is responsible for taking care of the
environment by reducing our carbon footprints, be it at home or in our
businesses. One small step into an eco-friendly residence or office is to
improve the efficiency of our homes and businesses through LED lighting.
LED
lighting is built with limited environmental impact materials and recyclable
ones. The mercury-free feature of LEDs helps the environment since mercury
cannot be disposed in domestic waste and cannot be recycled. If mercury gets
into the ecosystem, it can evolve into a more harmful variation that could lead
to serious contamination of our water supply and food sources.
LEDs
also emit relatively little heat versus other technology, which equates to
considerably reduced carbon emissions, less waste because fewer lamps need to
be disposed of and no real fire hazard associated with other types of lights. Regular
light bulbs put carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide and nuclear waste into the
landfills and atmosphere. By changing light bulbs to LED lighting, one single
bulb keeps one half ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through its
life cycle. It will also keep the sulfur oxide and nuclear waste to a minimum
in the landfills and environment.
The
environment can benefit LED lighting so much so that if every household and
business in the country switched to LED, majority of our power plants could
retire.
