Environmental Impact / Issues
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star® qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, save more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars. And that is a beautiful thing.
Why make the switch?
CFLs help fight global warming
Less energy, same amount of light
CFLs prevent other pollution
Less energy means less pollution
CFLs save money
CFLs last longer so you don’t have to replace them as often. Also, less energy equals lower energy bills.
