Siegfried Rotthaeuser has come up with a legal way of importing and distributing 75 and 100 watt light bulbs in Europe by producing them in China, importing them as “small heating devices” and marketing them as “heatballs.”
The website http://heatball.de/, describes the heatballs as “action art” and as “resistance against legislation which is implemented without recourse to democratic and parliamentary processes.”
€0.30 for every heatball sold is donated to saving the rain forest, which Rotthaeuser sees as a better way of protecting the environment than investing in CFLis ,that contain toxic mercury.
These devices can by purchased from the heatball website at €1.69 plus shipping.
