The New Mexico Independent: Solar fiesta to shine light on energy efficiency

  • shrayas · 1 year ago
    The Sierra Club will be distributing energy-saving (equals money-saving) Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) for FREE. Limit of 4 per household.
    Households can save about $40 per year by replacing the 4 incandescent bulbs they use most often with energy-efficient CFLs.
    By using less energy, we can also make a difference when it comes to lowering emissions of carbon dioxide - the main culprit contributing to global climate change.
    CFLs do contain mercury and must be used responsibly. Everyone that gets the CFLs will also get a handout explaining how to recycle CFLs for free when they're ready to be disposed of, and how to safely clean-up a CFL if it breaks in your home.
