We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to levy a tax on energy inefficient light bulbs so that their long term financial and environmental cost is visible in their retail price. More details

Old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs contribute to climate change, and cost more in the long term for the consumer. New fluorescent bulbs are better for the environment, and the pocket. We would like the Prime Minister to make these long terms costs visible in the retail price of lightbulbs.
This would be done by levying a tax on inefficient bulbs, and subsidising efficient bulbs.
