Just a little change.
In honor of Earth Day, this weekend I purchased 3 CFLs to use in place of some incandescent bulbs. I put two in my room and one in my bathroom. Each bulb was as bright as a 100 watt light bulb and used only 25 watts of electricity. I was using 75 watt bulbs. Not only will one 25 watt CFL brighten up a whole room on its own, it also conserves energy and saves you money in the long run.
I paid $9.99 for 3 CFLs, which makes them more expensive than regular incandescent bulbs, but the $15 annually that I will save on energy usage pays for those three bulbs and puts an extra 5 bucks in my pocket. Pretty cool, huh? CFLs are not only an investment for yourself but a super easy way to help out the environment.
So get off your rump and change a bulb.
