If you want an easy way to cut your home's energy use and reduce your contribution to the world's pollution levels, you should think about trying compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). It may seem like too small a change to really have any effect, but if every home in the United States just changed ONE regular light bulb to a CFL, more than a half-ton of CO2 will be kept out of our atmosphere. :wow:

On average, a CFL uses two-thirds less energy than an incandescent light bulb. They are more expensive, but since they last 10 times longer, CFLs are actually the most economical choice. The reason for the big difference, is that these bulbs use a different method for creating light. Regular incandescent bulbs have a fine wire filament inside of them that heats up, producing light. This process uses alot of energy and much of that energy is lost as heat (90% actually, according to General Electric). Compact fluorescent bulbs, on the other hand, have gas inside that reacts with electricity and the phosphor inner coating of the bulb to produce light. They are much cooler and only waste 30% of their power usage to heat.
IMPORTANT NOTE --> DONT FORGET TO RECICLE CFL LIGHT BULBS because of the gas inside ...

Is that enough? ;-)
