Ridiculous! So we just booted one of my roomates from our humble abode...and I realized that since he'd joined us a few months ago our energy costs went up rediculously. Upon him leaving I realized it's because he didn't practice any of our habits for saving electricity and I couldn't wait for him to move on so I could infiltrate the remainder of the apartment with energy efficient goodness!!! As an artists...student...human being...whatever, I definitely don't mind saving a bundle on my bills so I thought I'd share some love for your brains.

Here’s the thing…those incandecent bulbs just aren’t so hot anymore…I’d go as far as to say…they’re OUT OF STYLE…

And I’m out of money…it’s no using ‘em anymore! In terms of the environment and the economic blow to your wallet!

I’m sure I’m not the first to say it but, ONCE YOU GO COMPACT FLORECENT, you never go back!

Lets just face it, incandecent’s BLOW…out…I mean they blow out all the time. Who wants to spend even a dollar on one bulb ever few months…shoot…multiply that by how many sockets you have in your household by how many replacements per year PLUS the amount of cost form the electric company due to the SUCKAGE of power!–>you’ll find yourself a poor soul compared to the glorious splendour of switching over to CF bulbs!

Sure you may spend 5 bucks on one bulb, BUT, you’ll never spend that money again! OKAY, I’m over exadurating BUT the bulbs that I bought said that they had an average life of SEVEN YEARS!!! Imagine that! The average apartment renter like me wouldn’t ever replace their light bulbs in their entire time living in one place!–>and then you can take your light with you to the next place!
- All that being said…DON’T FORGET! When they do finally blow…or if one breaks before it’s expected expiration, PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR BULB!! CFs are made with mercury! And if mercury is placed into a landfill—>we’ve got bad news! However if you take them to your nearest hardware store, some WalMarts, some Kmarts, and many local government offices they’ll dispose of them properly!
- So next time you need a little light…remember to get a CF…because…
