Its only a light bulb?

By now, they have already invaded your home. Intricately curly white glass sits like abstract art atop a plastic and metal base. You carefully remove it from its packaging and, admit it, you are a skeptic. I mean, come on, its only a light bulb. How can it possibly do all of the things people says it does? If it was any smarter, it would file your taxes for you.


Believe it. Research has shown that a compact fluorescent light bulb, or the CFL, uses 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and lasts about 10 times longer. One CFL will save you close to $30 over its lifetime, pays for itself in about 6 months, and its only a light bulb. Now hand it a pen and your tax forms...


As one of the symbols of the new sustainability movement, the CFL proves that being concerned about the planet is more than simply living in a commune making your own clothes from leaf scraps and tree bark. The new green movement is modern, trying to use the technologies we have been blessed with and making them better. Its not only efficient, effective, but its also sleek in design.  


Its true what green combatants say, the eco-geeks are out there. We are amassing a huge army. We are in your  schools teaching your kids how to recycle. We are in your supermarkets, making all your favorite products more environmentally friendly, while handing you some of the coolest reusable bags you ever saw. We are on your TV teaching you how to save money while you save the planet. Oh yes, be afraid. We are making your life easier, less cluttered, more efficient, and letting you look so cool while you do it...and it all starts with your light bulbs.
