Why are compact fluorescent light globes (CFLs) better for the environment than incandescent light globes?
CFLs use only 20% of the electricity used by incandescent globes to produce the same amount of light. This means reduced electricity consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. CFLs also last 15 times longer than incandescent globes, so they are particularly good for areas that require lighting for long periods of time such as living areas.
