REPLACE
INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS with Energy Star qualified Compact Fluorescent
Light bulbs (CFL). If every household in the U.S. replaced one light bulb
with a CFL, it would prevent
enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. Lights
are one of the biggest users of energy in our homes. Compact fluorescents
typically last 10 times longer and use at least 2/3 less electricity. |
