In todays day, energy is one thing that is on most people's minds. Saving money, is on everyones mind. Saving the environment, some peoples minds, but not enough people. I just read an article talking about these not-so-new light bulbs that save ridiulous amounts of energy, which incorporates things like Oil and Coal, and the less dependence on it. The article is here:

It says that if every home in america replaced just one of their standard light bulbs with the new one, called a CFL, would be the equivalent of taking 1.3 million cars off of the road in terms of oil and coal burned, or will save enough power to power all the homes in Deleware. I, personally, encourage people to change to these light bulbs, which come in at about $3 a peice, and actually last a substantial amount longer than other light bulbs, and are much brighter. My mother bought some of these the other day, and they work nicely, and I am going to go buy more and replace every bulb in the house with these.
Recen tly, I've had what some would call "A waking up" of my social conscience. I've realized how much trouble the environment is in, and how much trouble we (humans) as a species are in trouble. Oil is going to run out within our lifetimes, unless something can be done. A little step is all it takes from everyone. Just a little bit of effort, buy something that is environmentally friendly, even if it does cost a few bucks more. At the expense of comming off as a Greenpeace zealot, this is a problem that effects everyone equally, not one person more than another. this is a world wide problem that, frankly, has me scared sh!tless about the future of our planet. If you care, which you should, I advise you to pass on the message. If not, whatever, live in your own little world of ignorance thinking that nothing bad likes this could happen to you. It could happen to anyone, and will happen to everyone.
