Believe it or not, the light bulb is 131 years old! In those 131 years, we have gone from horse and buggy to rocket trips to space and back. The world's population has grown from less than 2 billion people to just under 7 billion-- and is still growing! That's a lot of households, a lot of light bulbs (for those with electricity) and a lot of energy to power those light bulbs!
Since the US consumes a large majority of the world's energy, it seems only fitting and fair that we should also be a leader in conservation and environmental stewardship. How to do your part? You can start by changing your light bulbs.
