Change all incandescent to fluorescents

Hi all,

I thought I'd post about a free event Vancity is hosting about Global Warming on Monday, September 25, 2006 at 7:30pm at the Italian Cultural Centre.

Join UBC Professor William Rees, PhD and author/consultant Guy Dauncey for an engaging and thought-provoking presentation on global warming and the behaviours behind the causes and solutions, and how we could completely eliminate the emissions causing climate change -- if only we wanted to.

I just wanted to say that I happened to be spaced out and trolling around my local office supply store (don't ask - just never try making labels at midnight for anyone, no matter how much you love them) and bought 4 CFL's for our home. Let the change begin!

Compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) technology has advanced tremendously in the last several years. We can all save energy, money and pollution by changing our household lighting to CFLs.

People used to complain about CFL's light quality, the spiral-shaped bulbs and non-standard fixture fittings. No more.

Higher quality CFLs, like those made by Panasonic, are far superior in light quality and longevity to the cheaper spiral-type bulbs you see in the grocery store. These lights are instant-on with no flicker or hesitation and do not interfere with cordless devices.

I think about half of my lightbulbs are already CFLs, but I need to get several more...
