Light = Right
Last February, I wrote about the usefulness of compact fluorescent bulbs. I am now proud to announce that my family has installed 20 incandescent lights with compact fluorescent bulbs in our house. This change will save us many dollars a year in energy costs (and yet more additional savings over time, since fluorescent bulbs last longer).
According to a recent EnergyStar Report:
If every American home changed out just 5 high-use light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR, each family would save more than $60 every year in energy costs, and together we'd keep more than one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of our air — equal to the emissions of 8 million cars. That's a $6 billion energy savings for Americans, equivalent to the annual output of more than 21 power plants.
Will you too change your light bulbs to make a better world? It's easy and cost-effective.
