If you’re going to do just one thing for the planet, make it the switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

Although they cost several times more upfront than regular incandescent light bulbs, they also last about 10 times

longer, which means that for every CFL you screw in, you’ll be saving eight incandescent light bulbs from landfill

purgatory. Plus, you’ll save some serious cash in the long run. Because CFLs use 75 percent less energy, swapping

one incandescent bulb for a CFL reduces carbon dioxide by 500 pounds a year; replacing 17 has the equivalent

effect of taking one car off the road for a year. Just remember to recycle spent bulbs responsibly - CFLs contain

trace amounts of mercury, which although isn’t enough to be hazardous to you, could pose a problem in landfills

when mercury from multiple bulbs leaches into the ground.

Statistics reveal that annually

234 million major operations are

conducted in India, 63 million

trauma-induced surgeries, 31

million cancer-related procedures

and 10 million pregnancy related

complications which require blood

transfusions. Apart from these, there

are disorders like sickle cell anemia,

thalassemia and haemophilia that

We showed that We carerequire repeated blood transfusions.

As a responsible corporate that is

ever sensitive to the acute shortage

of fresh blood in the city of Chennai

during the summers, for the 6th year

in succession L&T Construction joined

hands with Indian Red Cross Society

to organize a two day blood donation

drive on 28th & 29th March 2016.

TN Chapter.

The camp saw a collection of 318

units of fresh blood. 421 selfless,

service minded L&T-ites who came

forward to donate but only 318 met

the eligibility criteria. Every donor

was put through a health screening

that included blood pressure, height -

weight test, hemoglobin count before

donating blood. It was refreshing to

see a number of women employees

who came forward to donate blood.

Indian Red Cross Society thanked L&T

for their support and co-operation.
