Change a Light Day Promotes Energy-Efficiency

by 10/01/08 No Comments

Today is the annual Change a Light Day, an EPA campaign to promote the energy savings of ENERGY STAR-qualified light bulbs that already has 1.8 million Americans on board.

Energy-efficient bulbs like compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) do contain recycle CFLs.
