Learn a new acronym - If I told you a way to save up to 15 percent of your electric bill, would you be interested? There is a very simple way to do this and reduce your carbon footprint as well, but oddly, few people have jumped on the bandwagon so far. I'm talking about compact fluorescent lamps here, or CFLs for short. Sure they cost more than old-fashioned incandescent bulbs, but they only use between 25 and 30 percent as much energy and they last up to ten times longer. (Imagine not having to replace a light bulb for ten years!) Don't wait for the old bulbs to burn out before you replace them - do it now. You'll begin saving money and benefitting the environment immediately. Visit the CFL Store at Amazon.com.
