I replaced every lightbulb in my house with these bad boys:
GE LED BR30 Indoor Floodlight Bulb (2 pk.) - Energy Star Certified - - Amazon.com
You could buy 250 million of these suckers for $2.5B.
So here's what you do. You break out the big bad calculator and you figure out how many regular lightbulbs you can replace in the country. Then you figure out how much energy those mean little pricks suck. Then you replace all of those pricks with these nice guys and you have your lightbulb energy use down to 15-20% of what it originally was!
Now that's impact!
"First World" countries can't "take care" of "Third World" countries until we take care of ourselves. Call it insensitive, mean, whatever you want, but when the top 20 energy sucking countries in the world are all major powers, there is absolutely no reason to be worrying about some sub-Saharan country that is barely a blip on the energy map.
Focus on the big targets for a real, actual impact. Anyone that TRULY appreciates the environment should be pissed off about these half measures and push for changes that actually make a difference.

I see no "Third World" countries.
Change a lightbulb.
