In case it’s not obvious, I’ve become a big fan<\/a> of Kenny Luna’s push to give every child in the US a compact fluorescent light bulb<\/a>. So, I wanted to make sure to get the word out on the press conference he and his students are holding tomorrow. From their media advisory:<\/p>\n Over 200 students will gather in Robert Moses Middle School<\/a> Auditorium to challenge Oprah to join the fight on Global Warming. The students, under the leadership of their science teacher Mr. Luna, have launched “Mr. Luna’s Bright Idea<\/i><\/b>“, a campaign to get every North Babylon [NY] student a compact florescent light bulb (CFL) and ultimately every student in America a CFL. Supervisor Bellone, Citizens Campaign for the Environment<\/a>, and Home Depot will join the students. CFL’s on average use 75% less energy than normal light bulbs! Mr. Luna and the students are on their way to accomplishing this innovative and meaningful campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From what I understand, there are quite a few members of the press planning to be there — it would be great if this could get some national exposure. I’ll certainly be on the lookout for published stories and photographs on Thursday.<\/p>\n Categories: kennyluna<\/a>, pressconference<\/a>, cfl<\/a>, event<\/a>, oprah<\/a>, newyork<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In case it’s not obvious, I’ve become a big fan of Kenny Luna’s push to give every child in the US a compact fluorescent light bulb.
