Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs: *Use at least two-thirds less energy than stan dard incandescent bulbs *Last up to 10 times longer *Save $30 or more in ener gy cost over each bulb's lifetime and *Generate 70 percent less heat, cutting cosst associated with home cool ing North Carolina Cooperative Extension - Clay County Center along with Blue Ridge Mountain Electric Membership Corp, Tennessee Valley Authority, the State Energy Office of the N.C, Department of Administration, and the division of Air Quality are conducting a Change A Light, Change The World Campaign.
