Action 5: Use Cloth Napkins

Action 6: Use Energy Star LED Light Bulbs Everywhere

 The USEPA states, “Lighting an average home can use more energy than your laundry equipment, refrigerator, and dishwasher combined…If every household replaced just one [traditional incandescent] light bulb with one that has earned the Energy Star we would save enough energy to light 3.5 million homes for a whole year and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to that of 640,000 vehicles.”

The question is not how many people does it take to change a light bulb, but rather how many people can we get to change a lightbulb?

Energy Star rated residential LEDs last up to 25 times longer and use at least 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. 

Holy smokes! Changing a light bulb is easy…and can save a staggering amount of energy and money!

The price of LED lightbulbs has come down significantly and residential and commercial options are now available for basically every lighting need. Everyone should make the switch over to LED bulbs ASAP.

Check your house for inefficient bulbs and swap them out. You may be surprised at how many incandescent and halogen bulbs you will find!
