Limit of 4 per household.&lt;br&gt;Households can save about $40 per year by replacing the 4 incandescent bulbs they use most often with energy-efficient CFLs.&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;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.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">shrayas</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:38:31 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
