Tip # 19 - Change your light bulbs

Changing your incandescence bulbs at home or at office to Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs can reduce up to two thirds of your lighting costs at home.

The CFL bulbs last about 10 times longer then incandescence bulbs and also help you reduce waste.

Just to give you some statistics - if every American home replaced just one light bulb with a CFL bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

Read more about CFL Bulbs in the Energy Star Website.
