Energy-Efficient Lighting

I just found out that the Pasig City government has launched a program called "Palit-Ilaw Caravan" last month.

They changed all of the fluorescent lights & incandescent bulbs in all of the public schools, marketplace and government offices to CFLs.


This is a very great initiative, with regards to Global
Warming.

It also means lesser energy consumption.

How does CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) lessen energy consumption anyway?

1. They don't generate heat that adds to cooling costs.


2. They last longer than incandescent bulbs.

3. They only use 20-30 percent of the power used by an incandescent bulb.

So if you're still not using CFLs, it's high time that you do.




Think of all the energy you can save.

The money you can save.


And the contribution that you can make in the fight against Global Warming.
