Swap Of The Day: Swap Out Those Old Light Bulbs

CFL light bulbAt Swap.com we are putting out the call to action to all you environmentally-conscious swappers — go green and swap out your incandescent lights for energy-saving Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs today!

Did you know that CFL bulbs use 25 percent less energy and last 8-10 times longer that incandescent bulbs use? Think about it — by swapping one 75 Watt incandescent bulb with a 20 Watt CFL bulb you could save your family $66 dollars over the life of the bulb! Not only is that significantly better for the environment, but it is also a wonderful opportunity to save money on your electric bill. Sounds like a win-win swap scenario to us!

What other excellent examples of swapping have you seen out in the world? We know there are tons of successful swap stories out there and we’d love hear your suggestions for the next “Swap of the Day.” Let us know on our Facebook page or in the comments section below!
