Last month I replaced my old lightbulbs with energy efficient ones which put out the same amount of light that a standard 60 watt bulb puts out, but only uses 14 watts. I got my first electric bill since then and it is $4 cheaper, so the bulbs have already paid for their higher cost. I don’t use a lot of electricity since I’m in a 1BR apartment, but I heartily recommend getting your hands on some of these bad boys. More beer money!

Yep, that’s what I have. I got a 6‑pack for 6 dollars on sale, and I’m only using two of them [I only use two lamps].
Shalom Adam,
That’s great. Small steps result in huge gains when we’re consistant about our actions.
While they do cost a lot more and take longer to realize the savings as a result, you might also want to investigate the use of compact flourescents in one or two of your high-use (a reading lamp for instance) light sources.
B’shalom,
Jeff
