CFL's are terrific I use them in as many of the light fixtures in my home as I can. Some fixtures however they just won't fit in like a bath light fan in one of my bathrooms. They do save a lot on energy however, as much as 75% compared to a typical 60 Watt light bulb. A CFL replacement for a 60 Watt light bulb uses only 14 Watts.<BR/><BR/>I just read an interesting article about this very subject on another website (HomesWithCharacter.net) I think. I am thinking of going as green as I can and have been checking out sites all over about green. Including HGTV, one of my favorites, Homes With Character also found had a lot of green tips.GreenGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17206287516519949834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933449.post-29547818211429219112007-01-12T11:36:00.000-08:002007-01-12T11:36:00.000-08:00Not having cable, we'll probably never see "Living...Not having cable, we'll probably never see "Living With Ed".

It's about Ed Begley and his wife living in his nearly entirely green house. It's really less about practical ways to make your house green and more about the relationship between Ed and his wife, but it's an amusing show. At least the premier episode was, which came on right after their broadcast of the Rose Parade.<br /><br />By the way, I think HGTV's Rose Parade broadcast is far more informative, interesting, and enteraining than whatever major network also covered it. HGTV spends some time telling you what the floats are made of. The network broadcaster saw the Star Wars float and said, "It even has Chewytobacca!" (Maybe she said "chewing tobacco" and was talking about brown coloration on the float, but I think she was trying to refer to Chewbacca the Wookie.)PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.com
