Save the planet, save your energy costs!

Now you can save money as well as saving the planet by replacing your burned out incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs.
Imagine if people all over the world mobilized to replace one billion standard incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs. What would that mean? It would mean that those people would save money each month on their electricity bill. It would mean they would save enough energy to light tens of millions of homes for a year. It would mean the prevention of greenhouse gases equivalent to the annual emissions of millions of cars.

I added myself there!
An interesting thing to note, is that I found here (SoCal) places where the Edison company subsidize the bulbs. So I can buy here 2 100W equivalent CFL bulbs for 99 cents. That’s cheaper than regular bulbs. And as I did it about 4 month ago, I do see the difference it makes in my bills.
Try it, it’s worth it!
