Energy Efficient Lighting in Your Home

More and more people are starting to make the switch to fluorescent lighting. Not only does it save money in the long run, but it also saves resources. I found a great article that details the benefits of changing the lighting in your home.

As mentioned in the article CFL’s use 50-80% less energy than incandescents. This can save up to $45 per bulb used. Also by changing out just one bulb, you can keep a half ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of that bulb. If everyone switched to energy efficient lighting we could close down 90 average size power plants. Is that worth considering the switch? For more of the benefits check out the article.
