Globally, light-weighting initiatives saw plastic bottles reduce by 47.7% in weight between 2000 and 2011, leading to savings of £3.3bn of PET resin, according to the International Bottled Water Association.
Very recently, tef1 knock-down has been reported to globally impair light induced gene expression compared with uninjected controls in 9 hours post fertilization zebrafish embryos that were raised in constant light [73].
Ikea will no longer sell halogen and 'energy-saving' compact fluorescent bulbs from September, when it switches all its lighting sold globally to super efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
In the case of Culture Trip, the startup works with some 300 paid contributors globally, who write light stories, take pictures and make videos on everything under the bigger umbrella of local culture, just no politics and current affairs, Naudts said.
In a recent study, we showed that 5- to 9-year-old children born at < 32 weeks gestation were impaired, relative to full-term peers, in their sensitivity to global form cues, cues that signal global movement patterns (i.e., global motion coherence), and SFM cues signaling the presence of a globally coherent point-light walker within a mask (Taylor et al., 2009).
At the recent UN climate conference in Warsaw, the Climate Group renewed its call for all new public lighting globally to be LED by 2020.
Much of the electricity produced globally goes into lighting, and a large portion of that energy is wasted by inefficient bulbs.
A recent McKinsey study projects 840percentt growth globally for LED lighting -- from $10 billion in 2010 to $94 billion in 2020, when it's estimated LEDs will account for 60percentt of the total lighting market.
Good double glazing reduces heat loss by 15 to 20%, while a switch to efficient on-grid and off-grid lighting globally would save more than $140 billion and reduce CO2 emissions by 580 million tonnes every year.
Similarly, the fatty-acid metabolites anandamide and 2-arachidonylgycerol have been shown to vary globally across the light-dark cycle [55] and endocannabinoids such as these have been found to participate in the regulation of complex behaviors such as feeding, sleep/wake cycles, and response to stress [58] [60].
