Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs

LPEA has partnered with ENERGY STAR, a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy in the "Change a Light Pledge" program. In this program, we are asking LPEA members to consider pledging to change one incandescent bulb in your homes to an ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent bulb (CFL).

The ENERGY STAR Change a Light campaign is a national effort to focus public awareness on the economic and environmental difference that the small step of installing a compact fluorescent light bulb can make, when multiplied by hundreds of thousands of consumers.

Please go here "Change a Light Pledge" to make your pledge.

We have set a goal of 200 pledges but we hope to greatly exceed this amount. Check out how many pledges we have received.
