A compact fluorescent bulb (CFL):   

• Requires only 25% of the energy of a standard bulb
  
• Generates 75% less heat than standard lighting
  
• Lasts up to 10 times longer
  
• Saves an average of $30 or more over its lifetime
  
• Prevents 450 pounds of greenhouse gas over its lifetime, the equivalent of burning 200 lbs of coal
  
• Preserves energy resources

If every American replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would:

• Conserve enough energy to light over three million homes for a year
  
• Prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars
  
• Save at least $600,000,000 in annual energy costs
