CFL light bulbs

Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL) are a wonderful way to help save energy. They are bright, last for a long time and are great for the environment. Because CFL bulbs last for 6,000 to 15,000 hours whereas normal light bulbs last for 750 to 1000 it actually saves you money despite the fact that the energy efficient bulbs are more expensive. "If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a energy efficient light 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."-Energy Star
