Ok, so I have gone 2 days per week without blow drying my hair to save on energey. It looks kind of scary but that is what ponytail holders are for, right?

But yesterday we were put to the test when we needed to replace a light-bulb . It was for an overhanging light so it needed to be at least 60 watt. My husband went to the grocery store and purchased a CFL. One single light-bulb was $3.50.

So, going green isn’t going to be cheap. The good thing, however, is that this one light-bulb will use SO much less energy and will last about 10 times longer than a typical one. The bad thing is that it has mercury in it and when it does make its way to the landfill it is going to be breaking down with mercury leaking from it.

Hmmm… more thoughts on this to come.
