Philips eyes [innocent] children in new [climate fraud propaganda] campaign

Royal Philips Electronics has announced a new campaign on the environmental benefits of energy efficient lighting aimed at school children in the UAE.

The new program, ‘Knowing is sharing and acting’, targets school children elementary and secondary and includes a 30 minute presentation including the use of giveaways and mascots (Green Lampee).

Philips will follow up with a second visit to interact with the students by conducting a Q&A session with interesting prizes for the students, said an official.

Comic books, which communicate the overall message of a healthier planet, will be also distributed to ensure that children take home valuable inputs that remain etched in their memories and one that motivates them to ‘walk the talk‘.

In addition, together with schools the company will create a group of students ‘The Green Lampee Worriers’, who will be part of this Philips energy efficient lighting campaign.

The first lecture was held at Dubai International School (DIS) where presentations were given to students of Grade 2 till Grade 5. Philips was invited to ‘the science fair’ which was initiated by DIS.

At the Philips' stand, pupils learned about the finer aspects of climate change, energy saving and what needs to be done on an immediate daily basis. Philips distributed Energy Saving lamps for free.
