One of the best ways to save money is to start at home. Now that’s a smart idea!
It is easy to forget everything we use in the house in our daily lives because of how busy our lives are. Between work, family and other responsibilities we forget & overlook many money saving ideas. So what is one way to save money at home?
Switch to CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lighting)
CFL light bulbs
In 2007, Americans saved 1.5 billion by switching to ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs. The energy saved could light all the households in the city the size of Washington, DC for 30 years. Put another way, changing these bulbs removes as much greenhouse gas pollution as planting 2.85 million acres of trees or taking 2 million cars off the road each year.
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases, equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

This is a great idea! I actually replaced most of my light bulbs in my house with fluorescent lights. These lights are not only brighter, whiter and energy efficient, but they also stay cooler than most of the bulbs I had which help keep my room cooler especially during hot summer nights.
This will be especially great for us Californians who need to save energy–and money–especially in the summer!
