Energy-efficient light bulbs not only lower your electric bill, they
also greatly reduce the amount of carbon dixoide that is released into
the atmosphere, which, in turn, helps decrease global warming. The
International Energy Agency reported that a low-energy light bulb could
prevent a cumulative total of 16 billion tons of carbon, or light
pollution, from being added to the world’s atmosphere over the next 25
years. Rest assured that your grandchildren and great grandchildren
will be able to enjoy those starry nights as much as we do if you adopt
a green attitude. Here are few choices available at Home Depot. –yvette caslin
