Change Your Lightbulbs
Perhaps the simplest and most profound thing you can do for the environment is to change your lightbulbs to LED. Compared to incandescents, energy-efficient lightbulbs such as halogen incandescents, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and light emitting diodes (LEDs) typically use about 25%-80% less energy and last 3-25 times longer.
