Change a light, Change the world !

The ENERGY STAR Change a Light Campaign is a national challenge to encourage every American to help change the world, one light — one energy-saving step — at a time.
This month, EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the U.S. Department of Energy lunch the campaign "Change a light, change the world".

The facts are here: if every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified 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!!!

This is huge and I really think it worth it to change your bulbs.
Those ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs) use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer:

• Save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime.
• Produce about 75 percent less heat, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.

Did you know that lighting accounts for about 20 percent of a home's electricity use?

So, don't wait: change your bulbs in your living room, your bedroom, your bathroom... it will be much better for the environment plus you will save money!!!

Environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility.
