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.
