...energy-efficient, long-lasting bulb. The average 25-watt bulb uses approximately a third of the energy of an equivalent incandescent bulb. And while the upfront cost of such a bulb can be as much as twice that of a comparable incandescent, the long-term savings are clear. By one calculation, a single CFL bought to replace a 75-watt incandescent bulb will save a consumer $76 to $83 over its 15,000 hour lifetime...
...replacement of incandescent light bulbs with the CFL will not only save consumers money throughout its long life, it will also help to reduce energy use and is one of the few surefire ways of helping to delay (or stop) manmade climate change. Replacing that 75-watt incandescent is also the equivalent of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 988 to 1079 pounds. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, if every household replaced just three 60-watt light bulbs, the reduction in pollution would be the equivalent of taking 3.5 million cars off the road...

It's impossible to say how God's hand plays into such things, but no matter how miraculous Librescu's survival during World...
...Pessimistic, but nonetheless persistent. The effort to save Queen's Pier is part of a wider movement to stop the authorities from destroying Hong Kong's architectural heritage. The fate of the pier remains to be determined at a series of government meetings that could provide an answer as early as the end of May. But the activists have already won one small battle. On May 9, the Antiquities Advisory Board, the body that reviews whether buildings merit preservation, recommended saving Queen's Pier. If the Chief Executive follows the Board's lead, the pier could...
...many of those campaigning to save the Pier, it is a symbol of something lost. "The British took away a lot of from us, but they knew how to leave space for people," says Mary Ann King, a district counselor for the neighborhood of Wan Chai. "You'd think to yourself, at least I have freedom, if I don't have democracy...
