Environmental Factoids: Let's compare bulbs.

Incandescents vs. Compact Fluorescents.





What exactly will you "save" by using just one Compact Fluorescent Bulb? According to the US EPA, a single "Basic Bulb" from Good Common Sense.Net will save approximately the following:

- 350 pounds of coal

- 500 pounds of greenhouse gases

- 16 pounds of acid rain production emissions

- or, 25 milligrams of plutonium waste if your energy source is nuclear

Since compact fluorescent bulbs use less energy to operate, they place less demand on our utility companies, and help reduce power plant pollution. By using Compact Fluorescent Lighting you are cutting down dramatically on emissions of the air and water pollutants that are causing so many of the health and climate problems of our times, including: Greenhouse Gases, Mercury, NOx, SOx, Radio-Nucleotides, and Particulate Matter.
