LED rollout would cut 2.3% of global emissions

If the world leapfrogged to LED lamps in all sectors, global electricity consumption for lighting would be reduced by more than half (52%), with 735 million tons of CO2 emissions avoided each year  That's according to a new report, titled 'Support The Big Switch', which has been launchedby The Climate Group. The report refers to The Climate Group's 'LED = Lower Emissions Delivered' campaign, which encourages cities to realise the carbon and cost benefits that come with switching to LED.
