What are the benefits of replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)?
A. Switching from traditional light bulbs to CFLs is an easy change consumers can make to reduce energy use on campus and at home. According to the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® program, if every American switched out one incandescent bulb to a CFL, it would prevent more than 600 million in annual energy costs and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from 800,000 cars.
