## Let’s seriously talk about energy efficiency and LED bulbs now!

Washington, DC — Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, we hope you consider taking a step
to [save energy](https://smarterhouse.org/news/blog/13-ways-celebrate-earth-day-and-slash-your-home-energy-bills)
such as replacing an old incandescent light bulb with more energy efficiency and
LED bulbs. Also or scheduling an [energy audit](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/11/now-is-the-time-for-your-own-energy-audit/).
These simple steps add up. In fact, many people don’t realize that energy efficiency
can single-handedly cut about half — of the carbon emissions needed to meet our 
climate goals. Plus, you’ll save money and, with reduced pollution, breathe easier.

## Get energy-efficient lights

The future of our planet heavily depends on the sustainable moves you also make 
today. So if you haven’t phased out your traditional incandescent bulbs, now’s the
time. Energy-efficient bulbs enable you to also illuminate your home with the perfect
amount of light [for less money.](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/03/off-peak-hours-and-how-you-can-use-these-to-your-advantage-in-business/)
Traditional incandescent bulbs use 90% more energy, and most of it is given off 
as heat.

So today, we’re sharing not only an [interview with Denis Hayes](https://aceee.org/blog/2019/04/earth-day-70s-founders-tale),
a founding organizer of the Earth Day movement. Yes so in addition to 1970 being
the first Earth Day, there’s also a new four-part video series. All on how we can
all Live Well with Energy Efficiency.
