The first countries in the world to announce plans to ban incandescent light bulbs (and to then replace them with more energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs) were Cuba and Venezuela (in 2005). Two years later, Australia's environment minister announced their plan on 20 February 2007. These moves could potentially reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions by 800,000 tonnes by 2009 or 4 million tonnes by 2012.
