Want to reduce your electric bill?
if so, you may want to check out Green Light New Orleans.
Here's how their program works: Green Light sends volunteers into homes across New Orleans to replace standard incandescent bulbs with donated Compact Fluorescent Lights, curlicue bulbs that require only a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs, yet provide the same amount of illumination. You get the bulbs and installation for free: All you have to do is sign up for an appointment, and have a ladder handy, if necessary, when the volunteers arrive.
Once the bulbs have been changed, you will get a report projecting the energy savings from using the CFLs over their estimated lifespan of five years. For more information got to their website at:
