A bright idea: FLUORESCENT LIGHTBULBS

A fluorescent lightbulb uses up to 75% less energy than a normal incandescent one. They may cost as much as 8.00, but the return comes quickly. Incandescent bulbs cost around $.50, but must be replaced 10 times as often.
The average fluorescent uses just 15 watts of energy, and has 860 Lumens (a measure of light) of brightness. On the other hand, incandescent ones use 60 watts of energy for the same about of brightness.


If every house in America had just one incadescent bulb replaced, the harvest would be rich. The U.S. would save...

Enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year
the emissions of 800,000 cars for a year
or
31.7 BILLION kilowatts of electricity.

all of that, in just one year, with just one lightbulb.

Now.
Do you think that makes sense?
