I was at a presentation yesterday discussing the future sustainability of the earth:
- 87% of traffic in my city consists of vehicles being driven by one passenger
- If every household in Illinois replaced one bulb with an 18-watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) the results would be equivalent to removing 74,000 vehicles from the roads annually, or planting 39.4 million trees
Since I haven't got room to plant too many trees in my yard, and until I become part of a carpool, I think I'll buy one of those bulbs!
