Change a Light, Change the World with ENERGY STAR

Most people want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut down on energy bills but aren't sure where to start. A simple yet impactful step is using energy more efficiently at home by switching to energy-efficient light bulbs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) invite Americans to join the growing movement of individuals opting for energy-efficient lighting.
It's surprising to learn that the average home generates twice as many greenhouse gas emissions as the average car. If every American household replaced its five most-used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ENERGY STAR qualified ones, the reduction in greenhouse gases would be comparable to removing the emissions from over 8 million cars. Energy-efficient lighting not only benefits the environment but also saves consumers money, as lighting accounts for nearly 20 percent of home electricity costs. By making this "5 light fixture change," each household could save around $60 a year in energy expenses.
As part of the annual ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign, the EPA and DOE have designated October 4, 2006, as "ENERGY STAR Change a Light Day." Americans are encouraged to take an online pledge at energystar.gov/changealight to replace at least one incandescent bulb or fixture with an ENERGY STAR certified one. Those who have taken the pledge already have a substantial combined impact. Pledges made in 2005 alone led to a reduction of 33 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign aims to rally at least 500,000 participants to join and take the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge, helping to ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program committed to helping individuals and businesses save energy and protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.
