ENERGY STAR® Change a light, Change the World Campaign
Believe it or not, twenty percent of our residential electric bills are related to household lighting.  This translates to $20 billion dollars annually. By switching to the ENERGY STAR® qualified bulbs you can save more than $30 over the life of the bulb. So, today pledge to commit to change at least one light to an ENERGY STAR® bulb. The City of Arlington's goal is 500 pledges. Thank you for doing your part.
