5. Need for Change

6. 2 billion people without clean, reliable lighting • Use gas or oil burning lamps • RIT spends approximately $6 million on electricity every year • Half goes towards lighting (~$3 million)

7. The Solution!! http://uk.gizmodo.com/2006/09/29/ledtronics_led_bulbs_light_up.html

8. LED • Reduce energy consumption • Longer lifetime • Lower maintenance costs • Less waste • Environmentally friendly
