My Teeny, Tiny Carbon Footprint
Saturday, October 06, 2007, posted by Q6 at 6:38 PM
Are you paying attention, Mr. Gore?

I really had no idea how many light bulbs I had in my house until I tried to go a little greener and replace them all with compact fluorescent bulbs. I bought the ten pack of these things at Costco, only to discover that ten bulbs weren't enough to replace just the lights I use most often. My next trip, I'm going to purchase another ten pack and put this little project to bed. That should lower my already incredibly low electric bill. (Of course, the next part of plan involves ceiling fans and a tankless water heater--I'll be living a greener life, but I'll have the highest electric bill in my personal history. I wish that made more sense to me.)

By the way, if there's a proper way to dispose of regular incandescent bulbs (other than throwing them in the trash can), then I screwed up.
