One of the easiest steps to take toward creating an energy efficient home is also one of the most rewarding. Replace old hot-burning, short-lived incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps or, CFL's. In addition to burning cooler, CFL bulbs last 10 times longer than incandescents, and use 70% less electricity. That means, speaking conservatively, that you can expect a CFL bulb to save you $30.00 over its own lifetime. In the past, CFL bulbs could be awkward to fit into fixtures, and we worried about Mercury content. The clever folks at Earthmate have taken those issues on head first. Enter, the Earthmate T2 Spiral, the answer to your CFL prayers. The Earthmate T2 Spiral is smaller than its predecessors, specifically designed to fit into more fixtures and applications. What's more, it contains about 1 milligram of mercury, which is less than most CFL bulbs. Frankly, it's a combination that's hard to beat: a safe, environmentally sound product that not only pays for itself, but actually saves you money.

He was also introduced by Blake Jones, head of Namaste Solar Electric, a Colorado company that installed solar panels on the governor’s mansion there.
