Making hard choices a little easier

I'm not quite done talking about light bulbs yet! Today, Seth Godin has a post about compact fluorescent bulbs and why they haven't caught on more widely. The verdict is in on these energy-efficient lights -- they save you money, cut pollution, and last much, much longer. In fact, if every household replaced just three 60-watt incandescent bulbs with CF bulbs, the pollution savings would be like taking 3.5 million cars off the road! What's not to like?

Despite the obvious win-win of these bulbs, Environmental Defense staff will be the first to admit that choosing the right bulb isn't always so easy. That's why we spent months brainstorming, testing, and retesting our compact fluorescent light bulb guide. Help us make the choice to switch a little easier for all the people you know by sharing our guide!
