But today I got quite excited when 3 girls from the local primary school came in and asked if I wanted to buy any CFL bulbs for a school fundraiser they are having. These girls explianed to me that they had been learning about global warming and wanted to make a difference however they could. The bulbs are good value and they get some of the proceeds of each sale. Its nice to see, it beats your agerage lolly drives. Info about little ways to make a big difference are always appreciated. Regards Melanie Hi

I have been looking in small-town hardware stores though... not on the net ;-) Hey, would you like more posts about energy-efficiency in the context of our specialties? Have a lovely day, Lucy Hi Rebecca,

You may want to check your content about a couple of points, though. 1.Ecobulb is actually a brand name from the New Zealand company, www.ecobulb.co.nz - it's not a generic name for efficient light bulbs. The general term is "compact fluorescent lamps" of CFLs. Not as catchy, I know. 2. Not all brands of CFL emit light in the blue spectrum .This particular brand (ecobulb) is rated at 5000 Kelvin, and is a lot more like warm white sunlight, than the older types of bulbs that are around 4100K. There's lots of info at their home page. Nb. All the big lighting manufacturers also produce various CFL models in all shapes and sizes, like General Electric and Nelson. All the best with the site - Rebecca. Hi there again,
