These are some very interesting Eco Facts that offer ways to reduce electric bill, save money … as well as help the planet. They are really very simple things to do that can have an enormous impact. Please read and pass along as these facts are too important to keep to yourself.

1. Use CFL Light Bulbs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs) — these are the new corkscrew bulbs, but now GE has CFL light bulbs that look just like the regular light bulbs. If all 200 millions of us here in the little USofA just replaced ONE 60-watt regular bulb with a CFL light bulb, it would be the equivalent of removing 9 million cars off the road for one year!
2. Changing just one standard bulb to a CFL light bulb can save you up to $44.00 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.
3. Shut Down Your Computer. If you power down your computer every night, the saving’s is estimated at over $40.00 per computer/work station in one year.
4. Another Eco Fact – did you know that even when OFF, your electronics still use power when plugged in. So, if you want to save money … unplug! Who knew.

Other interesting facts to help save the planet:

• Don’t Pollute.  A tin can that enters the ocean is still decomposing after 50 years!
• A plastic bottle in the ocean is still decomposing after 450 years!
• A Glass bottle that enters the ocean is still decomposing after 1,000,000 years! That’s just crazy. I collect sea glass, but not at that price.

Changing just a little can save a lot.
