Beginning today when our light bulbs die we are going to replace them with energy efficient ones. Compact Fluorescent light bulbs will save a lot of energy without adding cost to your shopping list! It is such a small contribution to the environment to switch light bulbs but every light bulb counts. It is time to realize that every person does make a difference. Once we start switching over to compact fluorescent light bulbs, maybe our friends will too, maybe even our parents will.
"FACT: If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars."

Wow, this is really interesting. You would think that with all the added benefits these green light bulbs bring, such as saving energy, electricity costs, and costing only $3.99, that more people would buy them. If the harshness of the light is all they're worried about, that is something they can get used to. I think this may be something to look into and begin using.
ReplyDeleteWhat is also really interesting is that the light switches also need to be rewired to accept those bulbs.. how nutso is that!!
