These are some great common sense ways to save money AND energy. We switched to using CFLs in all of our light fixtures about two years ago. It was expensive up front - the bulbs cost about three times the cost of incandescent bulbs, so we did them a couple at a time. However, we saw a significant savings in our monthly electric bill - and even better, I've only had to replace one CFL lamp in almost two years instead of replacing an incandescent bulb 3-4 times a year.
