Global warming is the most significant environmental challenge of the day, and
our area is one of the most at risk cities.Wasteful energy consumption is
perhaps the largest contributor to GlobalWarming.
One of the easiest effective steps to reduce energy consumption is to changethe lighting in your home from old style incandescent bulbs to modern compact
fluorescent lighting. In addition to the environmental benefits, a CFL uses 75% less energy than
an incandescent bulb and lasts 10 times longer, thereby saving money on a home’s energy bills. Each
CFL will save the user more than $45 over the life
of the bulb.
Green Light Lutcher-Gramercy is working to reverse global
warming by helping low- and middle-income families and
individuals make the switch from incandescent bulbs to energy efficient
compact fluorescent lights , one house at a time. Our strategy is
to actually go to the homes of Gramercy and Lutcher residents and install the
CFLs with the help of our volunteers, so the savings are immediately felt. The installation
is done by volunteers from the community and
the program is free. READ
