One Billion Bulb Challenge

I am issuing a challenge to YOU that I hope you appreciate. Help make this map green.

Last week I heard an NPR report on a website that is helping to make a difference with global warming, our environment, and our own individual energy costs. We all know the U.S. isn’t doing much with global warming and our energy policies. It has left me (and maybe you) wondering what in the world we could possibly do to make a difference. Well, last summer I purchased an energy efficient car (yes, I got an orange Fit!). Today, I finally checked out www.onebillionbulbs.com and was overly impressed with their challenge of getting one billion light bulbs changed – it is surprising how big a difference just one bulb can make. Of course, I LOVE that they use maps to communicate the results!!! So, I’ve set up a group and am asking you to PLEASE at least take a look. Better yet, join my group and change a bulb!

All my best, Jill
