ONE MILLION BULBS
CHANGING THE WORLD ONE BULB AT A TIME
The mission of OneBillionBulbs.com is to educate people about the cost-saving and environmental benefits of replacing standard incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs.
If you're not familiar with CFL light bulbs, here are a few benefits:
- They consume approximately 65%-75% less electricity than regular light bulbs while producing the same amount of light.
- They last up to 10 times longer than regular light bulbs.
In short, you will save money if you replace standard light bulbs with CFLs bulbs. For example, by replacing just one standard lightbulb with a CFL light bulb, you could save $85.00 or more over the life of that one CFL lightbulb (the actual amount you save could be a little higher or lower depending on how much you're paying for electricity).
There's another huge benefit as well. By replacing standard light bulbs with CFL light bulbs, you'll be helping the environment. Over the lifetime of a typical 100 watt standard incandescent bulb, the power plants that produce the electricity consumed by that bulb will release over 100 lbs of carbon dioxide--the greenhouse gas linked to global warming.

Below I've placed a widget that you can use to calculate energy savings in your specific location and for each bulb replaced. Check it out and let me know what you think!
