Probably the biggest user of electricity in your home is the refrigerator, and running almost all the time. But very closely all the light bulbs, both inside and outside your home. How would you like to shave 20% to 30% discount on your electric bill every month? Well you have an excellent opportunity to do just that using compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL).
These babies use 75% less energy than a standard bulb. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and emit light that mimics the light of a normal bulb and last about eight times longer than a standard bulb. And if you think globally for a moment, can you imagine how OPEC listed would be if everyone on Earth began to use these things? Did I mention that use a quarter of the energy of a normal bulb. That means the oil fired power plants much less electricity is sold and our use of fossil fuels could fall dramatically.
A single light bulb in each American household would reduce the harmful gases released into the environment equivalent to the amount emitted by 800,000 vehicles. This is the reason why many governments are offering subsidies or even give away these bulbs.
Why does not everyone have them? They cost more than standard bulbs. They cost more, but they last longer and use less energy. In the long run save money significantly. Do the math.
When you are buying these things there are a couple of articles you want to check to make sure you get what you want. You definitely want the replacement bulb to be so close to the amount and color of light as the light bulb standard. To do this, you want to compare two things, lumens and Kelvin ratings. Lumens are the amount of light emitted. If you are changing a light bulb 75 watts, discover how many lumens it emits and match the CFL, which will probably be a 25 watt bulb. Light has different colors or number of Kelvin and again that you want to match the power of the standard lamp with CFL. You can get this information out of each package comes in.
The disadvantage is CFL is available. These bulbs have a small amount of mercury in them. This is what makes them so efficient, but also why you can not just throw away. These bulbs are considered hazardous and should be disposed of like you would any other hazardous materials like paint, appliances or products chemicals.
Switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs only makes sense on many levels. Give it a shot, save some money and save the environment too.

India
$42.48
India is not only the world's largest and fiercely independent democracy, but also an emerging economic giant. But to date there has been no comprehensive account of India's remarkable growth or the role policy has played in fueling this expansion. India: The Emerging Giant fills this gap, shedding light on one of the most successful experiments in economic development in modern history. Why did the early promise of the Indian economy not materialize and what led to its eventual turnaround? What policy initiatives have been undertaken in the last twenty years and how do they relate to the upward shift in the growth rate? What must be done to push the growth rate to double-digit levels? To answer these crucial questions, Arvind Panagariya offers a brilliant analysis of India's economy over the last fifty years--from the promising start in the 1950s, to the near debacle of the 1970s (when India came to be regarded as a "basket case"), to the phenomenal about face of the last two decades. The author illuminates the ways that government policies have promoted economic growth (or, in the case of Indira Gandhi's policies, economic stagnation), and offers insightful discussions of such key topics as poverty and inequality, tax reform, telecommunications (perhaps the single most important success story), agriculture and transportation, and the government's role in health, education, and sanitation. The dramatic change in the fortunes of 1.1 billion people has, not surprisingly, generated tremendous interest in the economy of India. Arvind Panagariya offers the first major account of how this has come about and what more India must do to sustain its rapid growth and alleviate poverty. It will be must reading for everyone interested in modern India, foreign affairs, or the world economy.
