Let’s talk light
Thursday, March 27th, 2008I am sure many of you are aware of the Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) on the market these days. They are the cool looking spiral light bulbs that can save you money on your electric bill. They are also more expensive than your regular incandescent light bulbs. Below is a picture to help you see the benefits of replacing your incandescent lightbulbs with CFLs.
The biggest disadvantage, from my view, is that the CFLs contain a small amount of mercury. This means that they need to be disposed of properly. A Lighter Footstep has a great article about how to find places to do the recycling.
This is a GREAT first step to reduce YOUR footprint.
