Global Warming: Bournemouth Turns The Lights Off
by Anorak | 4th, January 2008
TO Bournemouth with the Telegraph: “A town’s Olympic-style flame is to be replaced by a lightbulb because of the enormous gas bills and the carbon emissions it gives off.
“The 15ft high Eternal Flame was a gift to Bournemouth, Dorset, from its local churches to mark the Millennium.
“Burning continuously, it provided a focus for the town square – at a cost of £8,000 a year. Church officials also realised its emissions were harming the environment.”
Wonder what will happen to the Olympic flame in 2012? Perhaps a large crayon drawing of a flame or a picture of the Chinese nuclear glow…?
