CFL Bulb Exchange!

Readers, do you prefer light bulbs that are boring orbs or futuristic swirly things?  If you prefer the latter, you can exchange your lame bulbs for new ones!  CFL bulbs are a lot more energy efficient and way prettier.  


On January 16th and 17th, volunteers will be outside the entrances of all the traditional dorms from 12-2, and in LQ and Calvert from 3-5.  So show up with an incandescent bulb to exchange for a cool one!

  2. But they're not as bright. Therefore, dull.

  4. That's really awesome that somebody's putting this on for students for free. I bet they're giving away some reeeeally crappy CFL's though since they're free haha

  5. actually, it's all funded through the Green St. Mary's Revolving Loan Fund, which pays for energy saving initiatives and then reaps the financial savings to replace the upfront cost. So they're probably decent CFLs, in order to capitalize on the most energy savings.
