As much as possible I try to save energy by minimizing my use of lights at home. As soon as I go out from the room, I turn off the light, same goes with our appliances. When we first moved in our apartment, one of first things we did was to replace all the lights with energy saving bulbs. Do you know that these simple acts can actually save lots of energy? If you and I will all practice such habits, then we would be saving energy costs in terms of billions of dollars! Really!

Here’s an interesting trivia I read from the Lighting Showplace:
If every home in the US would replace their 5 most used lighting fixtures with energy efficient ones, almost $8 billion in energy costs would be saved.
