Facts:

75% less energy is used with an Energy-Star labeled compact flourescent lightbulb (CFL) compared to a standard incandescent bulb.

Energy Star was introduced by the EPA as a voluntary labeling program designed to help identify energy-efficient products

CFLs last up to 10 times longer and save $30 over the life of the bulb

CFLs produce less than 100 degrees of heat compared to haolgen bulbs at 1'000 degrees

Replacing one bulb prevents the release of 300 pounds of carbon dioxide in just one year

Switching just one bulb off in every houshold would reduce carbon dioxide by 90 billion pounds per year

If each home replaced five frequently used lightbulbs with CFLs, close to $8 billion a year in energy costs could be saved.
