Change your bulbs
What that means is that if every one of 110 million American households bought just one ice-cream-cone bulb, took it home, and screwed it in the place of an ordinary 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. One bulb swapped out, enough electricity saved to power all the homes in Delaware and Rhode Island. In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads.
We have done just that and it wasn’t that hard. Thanks for getting the word out.
I’ve heard that. I think that people just see the box of bulbs that is $1 and then the 1 halogen bulb that is $3 and they freak out, even if it will save them tons over time.
I’m sure Aaron would have a comment about this.
Huh?
Aaron would tell you that these bulbs don’t work so well on dimmer switches.
i’ve put them in the hard to get to spots and they work real well and seem to last much longer also.
how long would they power the city of 1.5 million? I guessing for one day.
I wonder how much energy would be saved if every hotel in the US did it.
