Hola Conscious Spenders,I have been reading a lot of articles and listening to people talk about ways we can help make the planet a better place by conserving and making better choices and one pattern I hear a lot is that small, simple choices can make a big difference (if we all take part!) I thought I'd kick off the weekend with a simple conscious spending tip - when it is time to replace those light bulbs, buy compact.
There was a great article in Fast Company in 2006 Called How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change the World? One.According to the article:"Compact fluorescents emit the same light as classic incandescents but use 75% or 80% less electricity. What that means is that if every one of 110 million American households bought just one ice-cream-cone bulb, took it home, and screwed it in the place of an ordinary 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. One bulb swapped out, enough electricity saved to power all the homes in Delaware and Rhode Island. In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads. That's the law of large numbers--a small action, multiplied by 110 million." (Source: FastCompany.com)So if Home Depot is on your weekend shopping list, pick the compact fluorescents!
