Make the Switch!

You've been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather most of the country has been having, but in the back of your mind you're thinking, "I know this isn't right". You've heard the warnings about all the terrible things that global warming is going to cause and you feel helpless to do anything about it. Well, there's good news and good news! You can reduce your carbon emissions and save money at the same time. Replace 2, 3, or all of your light bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs. Don't be discouraged by their higher price - they will pay for themselves in the long run, and save you money on your electricity bills. They'll make you feel good about yourself, too! Check out Environmental Defense's guide to help you choose the right energy-saving bulb here.
