One Little Bulb, One Massive Impact

More numbers to help the message hit home:
If every home in the US replaced just one light bulb with an EnergyStar bulb, we would:

  • Save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for one year.
  • Save more than $600 million in annual energy costs.
  • Prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

Enough said. Use the right bulbs!
