A bright idea: Use CFL Bulbs

Earth Hour is coming up on March 27 at 8:30 p.m. local time. It's a chance to show political leaders that millions of people are serious about addressing climate change, but it's also a time for you and your family to make a difference in your daily lives. Live Earth Hour every hour by making little changes that add up.

Lighting consumes about 10 per cent of the power in your home. And standard light bulbs are not energy efficient: they give off 90 per cent of their energy as heat. CFL bulbs are 75 per cent more efficient. They cost more, but last eight times as long - they can run for five to six years. Replacing a 100-watt bulb with a 25-watt CFL will save you $30 over the life of the CFL, and each bulb reduces greenhouse gas emissions by about 15 kilograms per year. Start by rotating bulbs in your house to put CFLs in sockets that you use frequently. Replace others as they burn out! Learn More...
