#12: This Little Light of Mine.

Hooray! I am mucho excitiedo for today's Shenanigan!

Today, we switched the lightbulbs in our home from regular bulbs to Compact Flourescent bulbs. We journeyed to our beloved Costco today and delighted in amazing food samples (Turkey Meatballs?!?!) and CF bulbs by FEIT Electric in bulk. Which, by the way, brags that replacing ten bulbs with their "Earth-Friendly" ones is the greenhouse-gas prevention equivalent of planting 80 trees. Sweet action.


We had a glorious time hunting down the non-energy efficient bulbs in our house (we had already replaced a couple of them a few months back as an experiment in which kind we liked the best), piled those suckers up and went to town.



Admittedly, I didn't have enough for a couple of the outdoor ones, but I'm going to grab some more on the way home from school tomorrow, before it gets too dark to see the front door. Oh! Also, if you do this, I definitely suggest making it a daytime activity. We waited till 10pm and couldn't see a damn thing.
