Changing the World Starts with Simple Actions
When you replace light bulbs with Energy Efficient compact fluorescent bulbs, you help preserve energy resources and reduce the risks of global warming while saving
money and time buying and changing lights in your home.
Energy efficient bulbs use about 75% less energy than standard lighting, produce 75 percent less heat, and lasts up to 10 times longer. Energy efficient bulbs save
you money!
As an example - simply by replacing 4 traditional 100-Watt bulbs in your house with 4 energy efficient 25-watt bulbs (that will emit the same light effectiveness
as the traditional 100-watt bulb) you’ll save $370 in energy costs. (Based upon 12ยข per KWH)
To save the most energy and money, replace your highest used fixtures or the light bulbs in them with energy-efficient models. The five highest use fixtures in
a home are typically the kitchen ceiling lights, the living or family room table and floor lamps. The smallest things can add up to a real difference. If every
American home replaced their 5 most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with energy efficient bulbs we would save close to $8 billion each year
in energy costs, and together we would prevent the greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
FACT: The energy used in the average home can be responsible for more than twice the greenhouse gas emissions of the average car. When you use
less energy at home, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and help protect our environment from the risks of global climate change.
