Green Lighting Campaign - Sierra Club Guidelines Released
July 1, 2008
These Guidelines seek to balance and advance goals of climate protection, toxics reduction and waste reduction so that programs are effective and comprehensive in addressing environmental issues. The primary purpose of these Guidelines is to help programs optimize environmental benefits of energy-efficient lamp distribution programs. The intention is to design distribution programs that pressure corporations to provide less toxic lamps and to create producer funded retail recycling opportunities that make it as easy for customers to recycle CFLs as it is to buy them. These guidelines advocate some actions that go beyond the capacity of individual consumers; however, recommendations have been included that will help individuals select the best lamps when making their purchases at retail stores.
NPPR is a partner in this effort.
