Starting Tuesday (20), Cotia residents will have a fixed location to exchange old light bulbs for LED models free of charge, which consume less energy and are more durable. The new service point will operate at the Curupira Park Municipal Nursery, through a partnership between the Cotia City Hall, through the Department of Green Areas, Environment and Agriculture, and Enel.
Each consumer may replace up to 20 incandescent, fluorescent or halogen light bulbs with LED models, free of charge, subject to stock availability. To participate, simply bring the old light bulbs, present an electricity bill, printed or digital, and a photo ID.
In addition to representing an opportunity to save on the electricity bill, replacing the light bulbs contributes to more efficient use of electricity. LED models consume less electricity to produce the same amount of light and have a longer lifespan than conventional light bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Opening will feature environmental education activities
The implementation of the new exchange point will also be marked by an educational program aimed at students from the municipal school system.
On the morning of the 20th, 4th-grade students from Francisca Manoel de Oliveira Municipal School will participate in an extracurricular activity at the Municipal Nursery.
The program begins at 8 a.m., with a guided tour of the space. During the tour, the children will have the opportunity to see the meliponary, an environment dedicated to raising stingless bees, the insect hotel and other areas of the nursery, expanding their knowledge about biodiversity and environmental preservation.
After the visit, the students will participate in a lecture given by an Enel professional, with guidance on electrical grid safety and conscious energy consumption.
