If you'd like to save money and help the environment you will want to visit this website. On the website you can see how you rate overall by taking a little carbon quiz, and thus see what you can improve to help curb your damage to the environment. Even if you aren't sure whether you believe in the whole global warming thing, what is wrong with saving a lot of money?

Here is a nice little chart from ccrane.com that displays the benefits of just changing from your standard bulb to an LED bulb:

Life Span & Energy Consumption Benefits of LED Light Bulbs vs. Incandescent Light Bulbs	Incandescent 60 Watt Light Bulb	CC Vivid 2 Watt LED Light Bulb
Life Span How long will the light bulb last?	1,000 hours	Up to 60,000 hours
Number of bulbs used over 60,000 hour period	60	1
Bulb Cost Per 60,000 hours	$40.20 (60 bulbs at 67¢ each)	$34.95
Electricity Usage kWh of electricity used over 60,000 hours	3600 kWh	120 kWh
Cost of Electricity 60,000 hours at 10¢ per kWh	$360.00	$12.00
Total Cost After 60,000 hours	$400.20	$46.95
Total Savings: Money saved by installing one CC Vivid LED Light Bulb	Save $353.25 Per Bulb!

Thats savings. Now I wouldn't recommend changing all of your bulbs to LED, since the light distribution is not as good as a standard bulb. What I would recommend is changing out a single bulb from the overhead lights that use more than one, with an LED bulb. Think the kitchen light in your aparment that uses 3 standard bulbs.

So be a tree hugger! Buy an LED and visit climatecrisis.net. And watch An Inconvenient Truth. It might just make you think.
