ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs:

• Last up to 10 times longer
• Use up to 75% less energy
• Protect the environment
• Save time and money

If every U.S. household took the pledge today to switch their 5 most used light bulbs to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs, each home would save up to $60 a year in energy costs and collectively prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing eight million cars from American roads.

With special pricing of $0.97 to $1.00 per bulb at participating retailers from September through November 2007, it's easier than ever to make this small change that can make a big difference. So take the pledge and find a retailer near you!

And remember, CFLs should be disposed of properly with other household hazardous waste products such as paint, batteries and thermostats.  Avoid throwing out spent CFLs in the household trash. Learn more about CFL disposal.
