In the day and age of instant gratification, even changing the world is getting to be a snap. 18 seconds is all it takes to change a regular light bulb for a compact florescent light (CFL) bulb, which can last up to 10 times longer, and save you and the world a ton of money and energy! These Energy Star bulbs use less energy and provide that same amount of light as a standard bulb. In fact, if every person in the U.S. switched just one bulb for a CFL bulb, it would altogether save more than $8 billion in energy costs, eliminate the need to burn 30 billion pounds of coal, and effectively remove 2 million cars’ worth of gas emissions from our atmosphere. So do your part in slowing down global warming by buying one from any local store that sells light bulbs or check out our lighting section to buy them online. Want to know how many others in the U.S. are buying CFL bulbs and changing the world, state by state? Visit 18seconds.org to see how your state ranks.
