A few weeks ago, I decided to try some of the energy saver light bulbs. I got the ones that you put in your lamps, and I love them! I actually like the light better than regular incandescent bulbs. AND...they are supposed to last us 7 years! You can't beat that. We also recently had to replace two of our recessed bulbs (finally - for the first time since we moved in), and we used energy saver halogen bulbs for those also.
Second on my list of "go green" - I started carpooling this week. Me and 3 of my fellow Prattvillian co-workers are carpooling to work in Montgomery every day. Each person will only have to drive one week of each month. Talk about saving money! Of course the decrease in gas expense was my #1 motivator, but we'll also be helping the environment.
I hope this post doesn't seem "braggy" - because I am not by any means doing what I should be to help the environment - but I wanted to mention these two things in case you're like me & you just need ideas of what you can do. These are two small but beneficial ways to help, and just think of the impact (environmentally and financially) if everyone did "small" things like these! Maybe this will be my next step in the process of going green:
I thought the globe seemed a little cooler today.
ReplyDeleteYou know Rick and Bubba were talking about the earth being cooler! Way to stick it to the global warmers!!! I love the bulbs...it does give you a better light!!
