It’s Earth Day people! In celebration of such an occasion, I replaced 12 light bulbs with compact fluorescent ones from Home Depot. Speaking of Home Depot and their eco-friendly ways, today they were giving away a 60-Watt bulb. How cool!
It’s Earth Day and what a beautiful day it is! The weather really showed up today as it is by far the nicest spring day this season. Today Home Depot was handing out a free compact fluorescent light bulb in honor of the glorious occasion. I, of course, ran over to get one while I was out taking care of some errands. (That makes two free bulbs in one weekend including yesterday’s!) I also took an inventory of all the bulbs in the house and what the most used wattage was so I could start replacing them. There are 28 60-Watt bulbs in this house alone! Not including the various other wattage light bulbs, as well as all of the decorative chandeliers and halogen varieties. Wow! I bought three packages of four to start. So today I replaced a total of 14 incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving and carbon-dioxide reducing CFLs. I replaced bulbs in high-traffic, most-frequently used areas to start (ie. the kitchen, bathroom and automated-timer lamps).
