Why THE Bulb?
Using compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) is definitely the right thing to do. They are 75% more energy efficient than regular (incandescent) light bulbs, they last 10 times longer, and using them creates 75% less CO2 emissions. But why THE Bulb instead of other CFL brands? It's easy:
All CO2 emissions generated from the use of each of our light bulbs are offset through a donation to the Carbonfund.org Foundation, making THE Bulb CarbonfreeTM.
Through Carbonfund.org, Ecofuture only invests in renewable energy projects that are certified by Green-e or the Environmental Resources Trust, two highly regarded independent verification organizations.
As a result, using THE Bulb brand CFLs prevent 22% more harmful CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere when compared to other brands of CFLs.
