This is a Win/Win

How many actions are truly win/win?  Switching to CFLs is an easy decision to make if we just compare:

	Traditional Light Bulbs	Waste about 90 percent of their energy generating heat	Last about 1,000 hours, about 8.5 months of illumination
	Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs	Use 75% less electricity than a regular incandescent bulb.	Last up to 10,000 hours, providing up to seven years of illumination

So, using CFLs you’ll be…

• More energy efficient
• Buy far fewer replacement bulbs
• Able to choose from a variety of styles that fit in your same lighting fixtures
