::  Do the Twist!
"Do the Twist" and install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) in all your lighting fixtures! It's a fast, easy way to make your home more energy efficient.

Energy Star-rated CFLs use about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to ten-times longer. That adds up to great savings on your electric bill and for the environment.

For example, if you installed a 15 watt CFL and 20 watt CFL (which replace a 60 watt and 75 watt standard bulb respectively) over their lifetimes (approximately 6.85 years each), the bulbs can save you about $130.00 in energy costs while offsetting more than 2,000 pounds of greenhouse gasses.

That's with just two CFLs! You'll save even more when you change out all the lights in your home.
