If every Canadian household switched just one incandescent bulb to a CFL (compact fluorescent bulb), annual energy costs would be reduced by $73 million and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be cut by almost 397,000 tonnes - the equivalent of taking 66,000 cars off the road.

CFL bulbs can be purchased at such places as Canadian Tire, Home Depot as well as many other places. The bulbs cost a bit more but last so long that they are still cheap at $3-4. The CFLs that do not start instantly (pre-heat types) will have a longer life than the "instant start" type.

Every good choice make a difference for our next generation.
