Get rid of those old light bulbs!!


Wanna live a little greener and have a wallet that is a little greener?? Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs(CFL). You can save about $30 per light bulb during its life. Some city utilities even offer CFL's for free. Check out the website of your energy provider.

These bulbs even burn cooler, so they are safer around the house.

There are just a few things to know:

1. Do not throw CFL's away - They contain a minuscule amount of mercury and should be recycled responsibly. Just look on the web, but there are many places that recycle light bulbs.

2. CFL's do not work well with dimmers or motion sensors

Everyone loves a few extra bucks and you can be doing the earth a favor at the same time.

GET YOUR CFL'S!!!
