One of the easiest actions anyone can do to help the environment is to convert to Fluorescents. It saves money and helps the environment. I did.
- Buy two packs of 60W and 100W CFLs - Costco, Walmart, HD, Lowes
- Replace the regular light bulbs as they burn out
- They last 10X longer
- Save 70% on electricity
- Save on A/C since they are cooler
- 100W CFL is really 30W
- 60W CFL is really 15W
Quote from AJC "If every american home swapped just five incandescent bulbs for CFLs, it would keep 1 trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air and save $6.5B in energy costs."
