Karl Dared us


The winner of the Dare was Mr. Chen

Mr. Chen dares you all to come up with one creative, fun, useful way to save the environment and put a picture of yourself doing it on your blog!

We were very poky doing this, we bet Karl gave up on us but we had to give it some thought.

We loves to read. So we replaced our old light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs. And we just use the reading lamp by Mommy's chair, we don't turn on the big overhead light.

According to the Energy Star website
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

So you might say we are saving the world one light bulb at a time.
