After the World Earth Day the whole world start buzzing to make some lifestyle changes. Whether it’s about saving the environment, reducing electricity bills or save the endangered species, people all over the world are ready to make changes.

One of the easiest changes a person can make to become more environmentally friendly and reduce the energy bill is to replace incandescent light bulbs with a compact fluorescent light bulbs. A governmental report says that if every household in the US replaced just one regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, it would prevent 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the equivalent of taking 7.5 million cars off the road.

The replacing of traditional incandescent light bulbs with more efficient CFL (Compact Florescent Light), light emitting diodes (LED) and other low-energy lighting and it is becoming a global phenomenon.

CFL bulbs consume about 1/3 of the power traditional bulbs do and generate 70 percent less heat and LED lights are up to 90% more energy efficient than standard lighting, last over 50,000 hours or ten times longer.

The UK consumers saved 1 million tonnes of CO2 in 2 years – equivalent to taking 390,000 cars off the road for a year – by making small individual actions including insulating lofts, changing light bulbs and washing clothes at lower temperatures.
