People age, their hearts remain young: 70-Year-Old Mama Ma Joins the Energy-Saving Trend

At over 70 years old, Mama Ma, who retired from the Kaohsiung Women's Association more than 20 years ago, has spent much of her time caring for her grandchildren. Now that they are almost in college, she finally has time to focus on herself. Her days are filled with gathering friends at home, actively participating in church activities, and enjoying a fulfilling and peaceful life.

Inspired to Take Action: Becoming a Part of Environmental Sustainability

During a church event showcasing sustainability initiatives, Mama Ma came across DOMI’s advocacy booth. Seeing their efforts to promote eco-friendly products and reforestation initiatives, she felt a deep connection. Having personally witnessed the environmental degradation of the past decades, she couldn’t help but reflect on the urgent need for change.

Deeply moved, she immediately inquired about how she could contribute to environmental protection.

“I knew that LED lights were more expensive than regular bulbs, but after hearing about their energy-saving benefits from DOMI, I didn’t hesitate for long. I made up my mind and replaced all the frequently used lights in my house!”

Mama Ma’s voice became louder and more enthusiastic, her bright laughter filling the room as she proudly pointed out all the areas in her home where she had switched to LED lighting.

LED Lighting: Energy-Saving, Cost-Effective, and Comfortable

Last year, Mama Ma completed the replacement of 90% of her home’s lighting with LED fixtures. Following DOMI’s recommendations, she swapped out her 40-watt traditional tubes in the living room for 20-watt LED tubes. In the bathroom, she replaced her 23-watt energy-saving bulbs with 9-watt LED bulbs. Step by step, she upgraded the lighting in her bedrooms and kitchen as well.

This transition not only reduced her electricity bills but also created a more relaxed and comfortable home environment. Through this change, Mama Ma has proven that sustainability isn’t limited by age—it’s a mindset and a commitment that anyone can embrace.

A Brighter, Clearer Kitchen After Switching to LED Lights

Comparing this summer’s electricity bill with the same period last year, the cost dropped from $8,000 to $6,000, saving around $2,000. This made Mrs. Ma happy, as she gained a deeper understanding of lighting choices and truly experienced the energy-saving benefits of LED lights.

Moreover, when she invited friends over to watch a movie, they had to close the curtains but still maintain some light. The LED lights worked perfectly, with all her friends praising the bright and comfortable lighting, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Mrs. Ma also shared her experience of switching to LED lights.

Sustainability remains a constant influence.

This lighting upgrade helped Mrs. Ma realize the value of companies like DOMI, which give back to society. She eagerly said, "Teams like DOMI didn’t exist in my time, but good ideas should be embraced, so I will definitely keep buying their products!"

Though over fifty, Mrs. Ma is open-minded and full of vitality. She adapts to the times and continues to inspire her friends to embrace the green trend.
