I'm very interested in learning about what things I can do in my every day activities to be better on the earth. I liked this article because its got a neat trick for saving money and being good for the environment.

This article says that according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, if every household in the united States were to replace even just one regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, 90 billion pounds of green house gasses that are from the pollutants made by power plants. Whats mind blowing is that those 90 billion pounds of gasses are the equivalent of taking 7.5 million cars off the road. And the cost of the floresent light bulbs is cheaper!
