Finland for Thought » Finland may ban some light bulbs | Politics, current events, culture – In Finland & United States | An American’s blog in Finland

Phil from the Finland for Thought reacted in his blog about the new bill presented before the Finnish parliament on last Wednesday. The bill envisages a ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs. Phil writes:

Welfare Statists are always so quick ban things they don’t like. It’s a simple-minded solution to a complex issue that takes away our smallest freedoms without really educating the public about something as serious as the environment.

I heard recently that some of the alternative – energy-saving fluorescents may cause mercury disposal hazards, so be careful when buying your new bulbs!

 

Talent on www.talicious.com

Originally uploaded by talicious dot com.

TALICIOUS is a talent community website that allows talented people to share their talents, communicate with other interesting people and be discovered by scouts or agencies who can easily search the site.
TALICIOUS was born out of the idea to give talented people the chance to show the world their talents and if they want to, be discovered. We have tried to make this as easy as possible; both for the talents to upload their profile and for their friends, family and people with the same interest as well as scouts to find them.

Basically, TALICIOUS is a community for talented people and those that work with them.

They wrote:

Let’s face it – there are too many design bloggers out there, each with their own distinctive style and voice. But we never know who, in most bloggers’ and readers’ hearts, the movers and shakers of the design blogging world are. Simply because nobody has ever bothered about finding out?
