Switching out your light bulbs is a smart move, whether you're motivated by financial savings or environmental concerns. Here's why making this simple change can have a big impact.
While driving down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, I once passed a local oil refinery. As traffic crawled along, I thought about the pollution it produced. Although I was contributing by driving a car, I started considering ways to reduce my own environmental footprint.
At home, I turned on the TV and stumbled upon a home improvement show discussing the impact of lighting. With eight lights on in my house, I realized my lighting choices were part of the problem. Traditional bulbs and fixtures are major energy wasters, with most being only about 60% efficient. Since electricity comes from petroleum-fueled power plants, this inefficiency contributes to climate change due to the greenhouse gases emitted.
Prompted by the show, I checked my own lighting and found that all my bulbs were inefficient. The next day, I headed to the hardware store, bought Energy Star bulbs, and felt better about my choices.
You might wonder how much of a difference upgrading your light bulbs can make. The answer is substantial. If every household in the country replaced just five bulbs, we could prevent one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. Nationally, this could save over six billion dollars in energy costs. For individual households, the savings average $60 per year, more than covering the cost of the new energy-efficient bulbs.
It’s surprising how a small change like this can lead to significant results. If you're concerned about the environment, global warming, or just want to lower your utility bills, take a moment to review the lighting in your home. It’s a simple step with meaningful benefits.
