Light Up My Life!

There are a few more ideas on that Oprah show that I wanted to share. The GE energy efficient light bulbs will not only help save the environment but they will help your wallet as well. Here’s a description from Oprah’s website:

"GE Energy Smart lightbulbsGE Energy Smart bulbs use 70 to 75 percent less energy than incandescent lightbulbs and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. For example, by using a 26-watt compact fluorescent lightbulb—equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent lightbulb—users can save up to $59 on energy costs over the life of the bulb. Saving energy saves money and is better for the environment."

For a complete list of energy saving and eco-friendly idea’s go here.

Just changing one single light bulb will help. This almost seems unreal. I do not understand why everyone is not going out and buying at least one. It benefits everyone and the environment. My mother just told me that Lowe’s was doing a sale on these light bulbs and that they were selling them for 98 cents! That is ridiculous. This light bulb idea seems like a good idea to me. If you are unsure you should just try it. I need to save a few dollars on my electricity bill so I’m definitely going to try it too.
