Seeing the Light

Saving the world can feel overwhelming, but things as simple as turning off the lights can help us to feel more empowered. And so can changing a light bulb. Here are some facts about those funky, spiral bulbs you may have seen (or may already have in your home): CFL bulbs are four times more efficient, last 10 times longer, and use 50-80% less energy, all while reducing air and water pollution. The next time a bulb burns out, choose a CFL. While you’re at it, see if a nonprofit that distributes them to lower income families needs any.
