Description for figure 2

The title of this figure is “2009-2011 compact fluorescent lights: Uptake comparison.” This infographic is a scatter chart. The data points for selected census metropolitan areas (CMAs) are represented by light bulbs. A decrease in uptake from 2009 to 2011 is indicated by blue bulbs with a black halo and an increase in uptake from 2009 to 2011 is indicated by white bulbs with a light grey halo. An increase in disposal from 2009 to 2011 is indicated by a black arrow and a decrease in disposal from 2009 to 2011 is indicated by a blue arrow. CMAs in the top right quadrant have high rates of uptake of CFLs and low rates of disposal of CFLs in the garbage. It includes Toronto and Ottawa-Gatineau. CMAs in the bottom right quadrant have high rates of uptake of CFLs and high rates of disposal of CFLs in the garbage. It includes Winnipeg, Regina and St. John’s. CMAs in the bottom left quadrant have low rates of uptake of CFLs and high rates of disposal of CFLs in the garbage. It includes Halifax and Saguenay. CMAs in the top left quadrant have low rates of uptake of CFLs and low rates of disposal of CFLs in the garbage. It includes Edmonton. There is a highlight box in the lower right hand corner that states: “Toronto: From 2009-2011 households in Toronto increased their uptake of compact fluorescent lights while also decreasing their disposal in the garbage.”
