Going green is a movement that has gained popularity over the years. The major complaints against living green is the inconvenience and the cost. One must find the time to separate the recyclables, find the money to buy natural and organics, reduce fuel consumption, etc.
Some of these changes are an inconvenience and I get that. However, some changes are too easy and make too much sense not to participate. Phillips has developed a new LED light bulb to replace the incandescent 60W light bulb. Granted, this LED bulb will be more expensive than an incandescent 60W bulb. This new bulb emits the same amount of light, yet uses less than 10W. They also will last longer than a standard bulb..... 25 times longer (25,000 hours). If all standard bulbs in the US were changed to these LED bulbs, it would save enough electricity to light 17.4 million households.
These bulbs are not out yet but they are on the way. Go green, save the planet, save electricity, and save some time.

Phillips and other brands have economic lightbulbs for years. The LED ones are just coming to the market, but at least in Europe many new light bulbs are already "green".
