My wife and I have extra CFLs when we purchased a whole boatload of them from a Costco run. The spare lights were literally collecting dust around the apartment, so I decided to be the environmental equivalent of the tooth fairy around the neighborhood. The photo above shows a light that was running on your traditional bulb which was replaced by one of our CFLs. This is not going to save the world, but it will make someone’s electricity bill a little lower and save some carbon going into the atmosphere. If you have some extra CFLs around the house, I suggest you do the same thing – it will make somebody’s day (whether they notice it or not).
I missed a day of posting because I have been ridiculously sick. This is the second time I have gotten sick this season – I do not remember the last time that has happened. This blog (and myself) should get back to normal by tomorrow or Monday.

On a more positive note, how were you and Leah the environmental fairies? Where did you find homes for these bulbs? And if you do it again in the future, can you pay a visit to other neighborhoods? ;-)

29.03.2007 2:09 pmI kind of fly solo when it comes to actually replacing the bulbs. Leah is not too cool with doing that – which I can totally understand.
I am looking around the neighborhood for more easily accessible lights that are begging to be “rewarded”. I would love to go to other neighborhoods – preferably in places where the residents are not too high-strung. And own guns.
