Facts:
75% less energy is used with a compact fluorescent (CFL) lightbulb than a regular one.
CFLs last up to 10 times longer.
CFLs reduce the release of carbon dioxide.
Take action:
Buy a package of CFL bulbs.
As lights burn out, replace the bulbs with the CFLs.
Dispose of CFLs properly (not in the garbage). Many stores now have take-back programs.
