An Oldie but a Goodie: CFLs

I know the buzz about CFLs (Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs) is long over, but it is one of the easiest things we can do to increase our efforts for the environment. According to Energy Star the website http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls...

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

This effort is so simple and so effective and here is what's really exciting. At this year's Earth Day celebration: Captain Planet Carnival on Tuesday, April 22 at Tate Center from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. you can come a get a CFL for free. Georgia Power and Atlanta Halco Lighting will be on site handing out CFLs. All you have to do is sign a pledge stating you will change an old inefficient light bulb for a CFL.

This is only a small portion of the energy-efficient prizes that will be available on Earth Day. So mark your calendars and get excited to come by Tate, next Tuesday and celebrate good ole' Mother Earth!! More exciting details about the celebration to come...
