Traditional incandescent light bulbs cause millions of pounds of greenhouse gas emissions to be spewed into the atmosphere, contributing heavily to the dramatic effects of global warming.
Yeah, so what can I do about it?
More than you think. The Million Lights Project is committed to delivering one million free Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs to homes across America by Earth Day, April 22, 2008.
By swapping out even one of your old “energy hog” incandescent light bulbs, you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint by approximately 400 pounds over the life of the bulb, not to mention saving cash on your energy bills. As one million Americans band together to fight this battle, a collective savings of more than 400,000 megawatt hours could be generated, and prevent the emission of more than 200,000 tons of CO2 not emitted over the lifetime of the CFL. This is the equivalent of powering almost 60,000 homes, or removing 31,000 cars from the road for a year, or planting 60,000 acres of trees. Just imagine if every household in America made the switch!
Start now to be part of the solution to global warming. Register here to be one of our “luminaries” and receive your free CFL in the mail.
