How many frequent flyer points does it take to change a light bulb?
My good mate, Colin, was in a shopping plaza recently, and there was a Qantas stall offering free ‘environmentally friendly’ light bulbs. This is apparently part of their carbon offset program for which they charge extra to those passengers who believe this stuff to ‘save the planet’ when they fly. This ‘carbon neutral’ surcharge is voluntary.
Now the light bulbs were not only offered free, but these would be installed free.
So Colin signed up, and the light bulbs were duly delivered and installed.
The installation team also took away all of the offending old light bulbs.
After the first night of walking around in semi-darkness, Colin is now buying proper bulbs and replacing the free ones which were supplied and installed by Qantas.
I wonder if Qantas shareholders approve of this quaint activity?
