Upper Green Side

Buy A Bulb

Installing Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) in your house or apartment is perhaps the easiest way to reduce your utility bills and your personal contribution to global warming. We all need to illuminate our homes at night, but CFLs do it 70-75% more efficiently. So what’s stopping you?

CFLs Cost Less and Save the Environment

The old inefficient incandescent bulbs may be cheaper per bulbs, but are very expensive over the long run. Over the life a normal CFL bulb, you will need to buy several incandescents and your utility bills will be higher. As an extra benefit of the CFL, you will know that you are doing the right thing for the environment. You can buy 6 CFLs at Home Depot for about $10.

Upper Green Side is Here to Help

Upper Green Side is looking for a donation of CFL bulbs from a major retailer or producer. We will be contacting several major suppliers to arrange for this in the near future. We then plan to distribute these bulbs for free at streetfairs, community events and specifically target lower/fixed income families. We would be willing to work with that supplier on publicity for this donation.

If your organization is interested in helping us build interest in CFL bulbs, please contact us.
