The Cuban social workers have supported several energy-saving initiatives undertaken in the island and other countries over the last seven years, reports Trabajadores online newspaper. More than 60 million incandescent light bulbs have already been replaced just in Venezuela, which have reduced maximum demand by 2,300 Megawatts. The project was carried out for the first time in February 2006 in the cities of East Kingston and Port Royal, in Jamaica. Other Caribbean islands which have benefited from this program are Guyana, Belize, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Haiti and Surinam. Nearly 43,000 Cuban social workers have incorporated into the energy revolution and into the social services programs implemented in their country. * ================================================================= .NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems .
