Why go Green with CFL’s?
Lighting is an important part of our lives. How we light our home and office can make a big impact on how we live. The lighting options we select have a big impact on our environment. Lighting consumes 20% of the electricity generated in the United States. Going Green with your lighting pays in many ways:
- Reduces Electric Bills (Average of $40 per Bulb)
- Reduces
Maintenance
Cost
- Reduces Green House Gasses and other Pollutants
- Reduces our need for additional Power Plants
Energy efficient compact fluorescent lighting can be used in almost all applications. If all American’s would use Energy Efficient Lighting we could reduce national power consumption by over 10%. A full conversion to CFL’s would save American’s $15 Billion annually in electricity. This savings is only topped by the improvement we would make to our environment. A simple change of a light bulb by all Americans would be equal to taking 15 million cars off the road reducing Green House Gases by tens of millions of pounds annually.
