I found a Christmas gift in my office when I got back from vacation. The card said: "How many light bulbs does it take to save the polar bear? One. And here it is."
Inside a red-and-green pouch tied up with a red ribbon was a 15-watt compact fluorescent light blub with a projected longevity of 10,000 hours. A wooden cutout of a polar with a light brown heart stamped on it was attached.
The card explained how polar bears face extinction by the end of the century because of high energy consumption and global warming. Even if you don't believe the science, how can you argue with a compact fluorescent bulb that uses 75 percent less energy and can last as long as 10 regular bulbs.
So let's recap: I can save money, energy and the polar bear by using a twisty light bulb. That's a win-win-win. Super sweet.
