Freebie Alert: CFL Light Bulb

Energy-efficient compact flourescent light bulbs (CFL's) emit the same light as an ordinary incandescent light bulb, but they use up to 80% less electricity and last 10 times longer.  So by switching just one of your current light bulbs for a CFL could save you 80% on your energy cost for that light fixture or lamp. 

If you take the pledge to change at least one standard light bulb with an energy-efficient CFL, Rodney Strong will send you a free CFL bulb to get you started.

It's important to note that CFL bulbs cannot be thrown in the trash, and will need to be recycled.  To find a place to recycle your CFL bulbs, visit the Earth911 website.
