My environmentalist friends would be so happy to know that I have switched my old light bulbs into the more environmental friendly ones.  They have been begging me to do the big switch for some time now because they saw that the bulbs in my house are mostly incandescent.  I was resisting them because for one it would cost me some amount of money which I would rather spend on food or other items needed by the kids.  For me it was working perfectly fine so I did not see the need to switch. 

However, the rising cost of things and utilities has had me looking for alternatives and ways in saving.  The thing that made me switch to use cfl bulbs was when I was able to compare my electricity bill to friend who lives just next door to me. Her electricity bill was significantly lower than mine when we had the same size of house and more or less use the same appliances.  She pointed out that my lights would be the culprit for this because she shared that since she made the switch to cfl, her electric usage has gone down. I went online that night to look for cfl lights supplier that would deliver the items right away so that I could have my bulbs replaced. Since then, I noticed that consumption and electric bills went down.  I could not have been any happier.
