If you’re going to do just one thing for the planet, make it the switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).
Although they cost several times more upfront than regular incandescent light bulbs, they also last about 10 times
longer, which means that for every CFL you screw in, you’ll be saving eight incandescent light bulbs from landfill
purgatory. Plus, you’ll save some serious cash in the long run. Because CFLs use 75 percent less energy, swapping
one incandescent bulb for a CFL reduces carbon dioxide by 500 pounds a year; replacing 17 has the equivalent
effect of taking one car off the road for a year. Just remember to recycle spent bulbs responsibly - CFLs contain
trace amounts of mercury, which although isn’t enough to be hazardous to you, could pose a problem in landfills
when mercury from multiple bulbs leaches into the ground.

As a responsible corporate that is
ever sensitive to the acute shortage
of fresh blood in the city of Chennai

hands with Indian Red Cross Society

TN Chapter.
The camp saw a collection of 318
units of fresh blood. 421 selfless,
service minded L&T-ites who came
forward to donate but only 318 met
the eligibility criteria. Every donor
was put through a health screening
that included blood pressure, height -
weight test, hemoglobin count before
donating blood. It was refreshing to
see a number of women employees
who came forward to donate blood.
Indian Red Cross Society thanked L&T
