Damn! Our house is a hotbed of brightness since we decided to go and get all new energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs. While the up front expense wasn’t pennies, we figure we won’t have to buy new light bulbs for at least 4-6 years. Hell, if we sell the house and move before then, well have to take our light bulbs with us!
We were motivated to switch all of them over by the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Granted, we’d started buying them before, but we thought it was time for the whole house overhaul. So far, so bright.

Good move and a great FIRST step! You should next consider the alternatives before you hop in your car. our consumption of fuel is the larger issue. That and all the consumer goods that we purchase without necessity. Think of all the energy and resources that go into the goods and services that you buy every day. Think twice about all your actions & consumption!
You are a role model. use your influence to broaden the change.
