Did you know that a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFLs) uses 75% less energy than a standard light bulb? Change as many as you can and make a real difference.

• Change 6 bulbs and save $340 in electricity bills
• Change 12 bulbs and reduce as much pollution as an acre of forest.
• Change 18 bulbs and prevent as much pollution as removing one car from the road for a year.

Upgrade the lights in your house, make the change at work, help out your neighbors, or donate bulbs to a local charity.  How much can you save?  Use the Energy Star Energy Savings Calculator

Dominion says that consumers don’t want to use energy more efficiently—and so we need a massive power line that would cut through historic Virginia countryside and connect to some of the dirtiest coal-fired power plants in America.  Prove them wrong!  To show that we are serious, we need to keep record of how many light bulbs we’ve changed. 

Upgrading your bulbs will save the energy but only counting them will show that Virginians demand an energy strategy that respects both our past and our future.
