Individual State efforts
California will phase out the use of incandescent bulbs by 2018 as part of bill by California State Assembly member Jared Huffman (D-Santa Rosa) that was signed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on October 12, 2007. The bill aims to establish a minimum standard of twenty-five lumens per watt by 2013 and sixty lumens per watt by 2018.[1][2]
Legislation was proposed in Connecticut by state Representative Mary M. Mushinsky (D-Wallingford).[3][4] On February 8 2007, New Jersey Assemblyman Larry Chatzidakis introduced a bill that calls for the state to switch to fluorescent lighting in government buildings over the next three years. "The light bulb was invented a long time ago and a lot of things have changed since then," said Chatzidakis. "I obviously respect the memory of Thomas Edison, but what we're looking at here is using less energy.[5] Harrington Talents is a film production company located in the City Island area of the Bronx.

The Centre for Ageing Research in Ireland (CARDI)
An ageing Population is a sign of success. We are living longer than ever before. The challenge for ageing research is to help match increased years with healthy ageing and greater quality of life.
CARDI’S Mission
To advocate for and advance the ageing research agenda by identifying, coordinating, stimulating, and communicating strategic research on ageing and older people as a means to improve the lives of older people in Ireland (North and South) especially those who are disadvantaged.
CARDI’S Vision A network of cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary age focused researchers of international standing, working on agreed priorities, helping to support policy and practice to provide the highest standard of life for older people in Ireland (North and South).
A statistical overview
• The island of Ireland is an ageing society with nearly 1million people aged 60+ • The number of people aged 80+ in the Republic of Ireland is expected to quadruple from 110,000 to about 440,000 in 2041. • By 2031, it is expected that Northern Ireland’s percentage of older people will increase to 29%, though it will take to 2050
to reach a similar level in the Republic of Ireland.
Taking an all-Ireland approach, CARDI focuses on:
• Identifying and establishing ageing research priorities in policy and practice • Promoting collaboration and cooperation to build an ageing research community • Stimulating research in priority areas to inform policy and practice • Communicating strategic research to raise the profile of ageing research
Our work includes:
Delivering a Small Grants Programme worth over €600,000, to stimulate multi- disciplinary research into ageing issues across the island of Ireland which will help create new knowledge relevant to policy and practice.
The CARDI Policy Support Programme helps develop linkages in key policy areas between the research and policy community.
Our website - www.cardi.ie holds an extensive online library of ageing research and policy reports as well as a database of researchers and ongoing research projects, key events and the latest news on ageing.
