CFA Supports Pro-Consumer Massachusetts Legislation to Phase Out Florescent Lightbulbs
CFA provided written testimony in support of Massachusetts legislation S.538 and H.777, which would phase out fluorescent light bulbs. The legislation is a sensible step. It proposed changes would save the people of Massachusetts money by transition sales of common fluorescent light bulbs to LEDs. As LEDs are twice as energy efficient as fluorescent, LEDS will generate significant electricity bill savings. Further, fluorescent light bulbs are an unnecessary toxic risk to human health. Mercury, which is found in fluorescent bulbs, is a known neurotoxic and environmental threat. CFA urges Massachusetts to act and adopt this pro-consumer legislation.
