1. CFL stands for compact flourescent lightbulbs.
2. There are screw-in CFLs and plug-in CFLs.
3. You can save up to $68.00 by using a CFL instead of a regular bulb every month.
4. CFLs are 10 times more expensive than regular lightbulbs but last ten times longer than regular ones.
5. By replacing a single regular bulb with a CFL bulb, you can keep a half a ton of CO2 out of the air over the life of the CFl bulb. (CO2 is bad for the air.)
6. If everyone in the U.S. used CFL bulbs, we could get rid of about 90 power plants which is enough to stop global warming.
