Step 1Changing Your Light Bulbs!

Changing Your Light Bulbs!
This is one of the most important things that you can do. Changing from regular light bulbs to fluorescent light bulbs not only saves you money, it also saves the environment. For the sake of saving money, don't immediately switch, wait until your old bulbs burn out, then replace them with fluorescent bulbs. Doing this can save you from $10-$200 on energy costs.
So remember, switch from regular light bulbs to fluorescent light bulbs to save money and help the environment.

If you are aiming to win something you'd do well to take some photographs and add some original content. And congratulations on spelling "fluorescent" correctly! L
