CFL Light Bulbs
Did you know that according to EnergyStar, if every home in America replaced just one traditional, incandescent light bulb with a Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb (CFL), it would prevent the release of carbon emissions equivalent to that of about 800,000 cars and would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes.
Typical CFL lightbulbs last more than 8 times longer than traditional lightbulbs and use less than 25% of the energy. Over the lifetime of a CFL lightbulb, you will save over $40 in light bulb and energy costs. Imagine what would happen if you switched out all of your incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs?
