girlawhirl finds a way to help the environment with energy efficient lightbulbs

Jun 28, 2006

Girlawhirl really does whatever she can to help save the planet. She walks. She recycles. She buys organic food when it's available. She even buys organic clothes when they fit her mood and her body. She's careful with her heat in the winter and AC in the summer, and all in all, tries to keep her ‘carbon footprint' as small as possible…

And now she's discovered an easy, inexpensive thing that she, and everyone she knows, can do to make a difference. As it turns out, if Girlawhirl replaces three of her most used light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs, she'll reduce the carbon dioxide produced from her household by 300 lbs a year. And since the bulbs use less energy, she'll also save $60. But here's the best part: according to stopglobalwarming.com, if every household in America made the bulb swap, a trillion pounds of CO2 would be kept out of the atmosphere!

Girlawhirl found her energy efficient ECOBULBS in her online shopping mall at gaiam.com
