Old Fashion Light bulbs being Phased Out for Energy Efficient Ones!

On January 1, 2014 incandescent light bulbs will no longer be manufactured in the United States. This is because they no longer meet the federal efficiency standard. The alternative choices will be the CFL's and LED's. 

Of course some of the public is upset about this phase out because now their choices are limited, however these bulbs are highly more efficient and will cause electricity bills to be much cheaper. I feel this is a good change and I am happy about the phase out.

Find stores and businesses near you that recycle plastic products, even start your own local recycle organization if you are feeling ambitious.
