I’m not a huge fan of Earth Day, because I think that many of the “suggestions” for reducing energy consumption simply aren’t economically feasible for the average consumer.  But CFLs are the exception to the rule.  I’ve had one in my bedroom for over five years, and it’s still going strong. It’s something you can do that will actually save you money in the long run.  One thing to remember: CFLs do contain a small amount of mercury, which means they shouldn’t be disposed of with your normal garbage.  Find out more about disposal options here.
