The Red Light District goes green

redlightsgogreen.jpg

Our colleagues in the Netherlands who alerted us to the dangers of toxic sex toys are now tackling the Red Light District in Amsterdam, and making energy efficiency sexier than ever. They've replaced the inefficient red light bulbs lighting up six windows in the famous district with energy efficient green light bulbs. The Greenpeace volunteers are also canvassing entrepreneurs in other parts of the neighbourhood asking them to use energy efficient light bulbs.

The guerilla bulb replacement is part of a project called "Heir" (Here in Dutch) to promote the use of 1 million extra energy efficient light bulbs in the Netherlands.

Next stop the Ajax football stadium?!
