“黑夜给了我们黑色的眼睛，我们却用它寻找光明”。光明是人类天性中根深蒂固的向往。对此，我们要对爱迪生先生表示诚挚的感谢，是他用非凡的创造力点亮了地球的黑夜。然而，当知道这样一组数字时，这位伟大的科学家恐怕也只能一声叹息了。发一度电要消耗0.9公斤的二氧化碳，而灯具照明的发电量占全国总发电量的10%。大量使用白炽灯势必加速全球气候变暖。白炽灯在照亮我们房间的同时，也暗淡着整个世界的天空。
于是，我们的主持人麦小龙决定，代表绿色英雄消灭大功率灯泡。而月亮姐姐也变身节能灯形象大使，宣传使用节能灯。在走访了灯具城，博物馆和许多住户之后，越来越多的民众告别白炽灯，加入了节能先锋的行列。
如果说白炽灯照亮了人类短短130年的历史，那么节能灯将照亮的是人类无休无尽的未来。
Light bulbs
200 years ago people didn’t use light bulbs, they didn’t even have electricity. How times have changed. The humble incandescent light bulb, once a marvellous resource, is now contributing significantly to global warming. ‘Sister Moon’ tells her class that incandescent bulbs are not so good as they also produce heat and waste energy. Scientist Jiang Kejun lends support – did you know that 900 grams of CO2 are produced for every kilowatt hour of electricity?
Whilst host, Sister Moon teaches children how to look after their world for tomorrow, Chelsea Mark visits the lighting museum and asks people how many bulbs they have. Not everyone can answer this question so he ends up getting himself invited into their homes to count for himself. There is one problem with all of this though; he doesn’t know how many he has, nor what kind, so he has to make a quick stop at his home to sort out this problem.
By the way, how many bulbs do you have?
