Make One Small Change: Use More CFLs

TAGS: None


Replacing just one incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent lightbulb (CFL) will make a big difference, especially if everyone did that.  It would reduce carbon emissions equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the road, or not burning 29,900 railcars of coal.1  The impact on the environment is unbelievable.  You can't make a better economic investment for your home.  Replacing one bulb is estimated to save you $66 over the lifetime of the CFL.  I replaced three bulbs with CFLs last year.2  I'll replace another six this month.  I hope you join me.

Change for the Better

kai - zen

Small change, everyday, results in big change in no time. The practice is distinctly Japanese, but there are many non-Japanese - both individuals and companies - that have embraced "do a little better everyday."

People in the project setting often ask, "Why bother? The project will be over in no time. We will disband going on to something else. Why should we take time out of our already busy (and behind) schedule?"

How would you answer? For me, projects over a distinct opportunity to deal with something new. They are a great sandbox for testing our ideas.
