Public-Private Partnership Unveils Nationwide Campaign to Raise Awareness About Global Warming and Rally Americans to Help Make a Change.


Yahoo! (NASDAQ NASDAQ
 in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations

U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on
:YHOO YHOO Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ symbol) ):
WHAT:   It takes about 18 seconds to replace a conventional
        incandescent bulb with an ENERGY STAR-labeled compact
        fluorescent light bulb (CFL).

        This simple step and its ability to significantly reduce
        environmental impact are the driving forces behind the
        18Seconds Coalition - a cross sector partnership that will
        formally launch at the semi-annual 18Seconds.org CFL Summit.
        Riding on America's renewed interest in energy efficiency and
        global warming, the Coalition will announce its goals and
        initiatives to help America switch to the energy-saving CFLs.

        A coinciding Web site, www.18Seconds.org - built by Yahoo!
        in collaboration with the Coalition - also will launch at the
        summit. The site provides a unique tool to monitor sales of
        CFLs by zip code, metropolitan area and state.

WHO:    Lawrence Bender, Academy Award-winning Producer of Oscar
        nominee "An Inconvenient Truth"

        Assistant Secretary Andy Karsner, Energy Efficiency and
        Renewable Energy, Department of Energy

        Kathleen Hogan, Director, Climate Protection Partnerships
        Division, Environmental Protection Agency

        David Filo, co-founder, Yahoo! and Amy Iorio, General Manager
        of Yahoo! News

        Mayor Chuck Reed, City of San Jose (Invited)

        Assemblymember Lloyd Levine (D-Van Nuys), Chair, Utilities
        and Commerce Committee

WHERE:  18Seconds CFL Summit
        Tech Museum of Innovation
        New Venture Hall
        201 S. Market Street, San Jose, CA

WHEN:   10 a.m. - 11 a.m.
        Thursday, February 22, 2007
        Q&A session to immediately follow
        RSVP required: Contact Amy Salek at 415-345-4763 or
        asalek@outcastpr.com

WHY:    If each of the 300 million Americans in the country swapped
        out just one conventional 60W bulb to a 13W ENERGY
        STAR-labeled CFL, it would prevent the burning of 30 billion
        pounds of coal, save $8 billion in energy costs and prevent
        2 million cars worth of greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose
        of this Coalition is to empower every individual in the
        country. By taking 18 seconds to change a light bulb,
        Americans can join a movement that could change the country.
