Best Answer

sometimes

Compared to an incandescent light bulb, "green" ( eco? ) light bulbs are generally more efficient to manufacture and more efficient in using (less) electricity to make (more) light; and they contain or release less toxic materials during manufacture, use, and (should they fail prematurely) disposal of used bulbs.

Likely examples: LED bulbs, Fluorescent bulbs (except they contain Mercury).

How much carbon dioxide does each light bulb emit?

None. Light bulbs do not emit carbon dioxide. The electricity used to power the light bulb may have been produced by a method which emits carbon dioxide (then again, it may not have), but the bulb itself doesn't emit anything except heat and light.


Can i light a light bulb with a battery and a paper clip?

Yes, if your battery has the capacity to match the light bulbs requirements. A 1.5volt "AA" battery cannot supply enough power to light a 60watt bulb. A flashlight that uses a single battery will have a bulb small enough to be powered by a small battery and a paper-clip as a conductor. A low voltage LED may also be used. Touch one end of the battery to one terminal on the bulb, and connect the other end of the battery to the other terminal using the clip. (you may find it helpful to use tape to hold it all together)
