| Thomas Edison with his "Invention". |
| Thomas Edison was one of the greatest inventors ever! He invented ways of "borrowing" ideas from other inventors and claiming them as his own! The light bulb was invented by Englishman Sir Joseph Swan and was displayed in Paris in 1878. A year later, Thomas Edison "Invented" the light bulb, and claimed all of the credit! However, once Edison had pinched the design - he made good use of it. He developed the light bulb from a bright idea into something that revolutionised our world. So hats off to Thomas Edison! |

Replace just 10 old-style incandescent light bulbs with the latest
low-energy bulbs -and you could reduce your Carbon Footprint by
3000kg a year ! In Europe that's almost a third of your carbon footprint
gone! And if every household in America changed just 3 bulbs - that
would reduce America's carbon footprint by over TWO TRILLION kgCO2!
