[|TreeHugger] Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL's) Uses btw 60 to 80 percent less energy than incandescents Lasts around 6,000 to 15,000 hours Incandescents last around 1,000 hours Each bulb can save the user 30 dollars and 2000 times its weight in greenhouse gases

[|ASCO Lights] 20 - 25W (CFL) = 100W (Incandescent) Lasts 10 times longer than incandescents Reduces amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere

[|Energy Star] If every American replaced a light bulb to a CFL they could save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year They would save around $700 million in annual energy costs They would prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, that is equal to 800,000 cars CFL uses 75% less energy and lasts 10 times longer Save $30 dollars over its lifetime and pays for itself in 6 months

[|Wikipedia - Incandescent Light Bulbs] 90% of the energy is emitted as heat

[|Planet Green] 10 percent: The percentage of global electricity saved by switching to entirely efficient lighting systems, according to a report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The carbon dioxide emissions saved by such a switch would dwarf cuts so far achieved by adopting wind and solar power. 19 percent: The percentage of global electricity generation taken for lighting-- that's more than is produced by hydro or nuclear stations, and about the same that's produced from natural gas." 40 percent: the increase in sales in stores with good natural light. (the Heschong Mahone Group) 25-33 percent: The percentage of total requirements to receive a LEED Silver rating, that builders can achieve through the use of daylighting in their design. 2.5 million: The number of homes that could be lit from the energy saved if every American replacing one light bulb with an Energy Star rated one; this action would also prevent emissions of greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars."

Sketches:

Initial Concept - Present a world in the future where everything is controlled through a personal computer in which you interface with through a virtual screen, something like Minority Report

Second Concept - The second concept was to use type and video to promote the idea of energy conservation through energy efficient light bulbs
