Change a Light Bulb: It Really Can Make a Difference
July 2, 2006
I switched all my bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent for 2 reasons: 1. Saves electricity so I am less reliant on it and 2. I got tired of changing bulbs out when the would go out. I’m glad to see that if more people went to them it would trim thir electricity useage by 10%.
“A global switch to efficient lighting systems would trim the world’s electricity bill by nearly one-tenth. The carbon dioxide emissions saved by such a switch would, it concludes, dwarf cuts so far achieved by adopting wind and solar power.”
