The Next Bright Idea ...

How many eco-enthusiasts does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, if it’s energy efficient! And the “bright side” of changing that ordinary bulb is that you won’t have to hear any more jokes, because the new light bulbs last for what seems like forever. 

We switched ours a few years ago, and I’ve never looked back. They’re brighter, produce a cooler colour light (no one wants to have a jaundiced yellow tinge anyway), and they seem to rarely need changing. On top of that, according to the US Department of Energy, “Rapid adoption of LED lighting in the US over the next 20 years could:

   

                     Deliver energy savings of about $265 billion.

                     Avoid the need to build 40 new power plants. 

                                          Reduce electricity demand for lighting by 33% in 2027."

On top of those awesome facts, energy efficient lighting typically uses 25%-80% less energy and can last 3-25 times longer. Not only can you reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your actual footprint by shopping less. So here’s a bright idea ... if you haven’t already done so, swap your lights as the old ones burn out ... your wallet, your children and the world will thank you – one bulb at a time.
