The other day I was coming to work on the el and saw these ads. It’s an interesting idea for an advertising campaign. On the surface, it seems like an obvious hint. Kind of like your mom telling you to zip your coat on those wintery cold days as a child. But the creative graphics make this simple message more eye-catching. I know there are lots of people who don’t like the look of CFLs, but I was browsing the aisle of my neighborhood home improvement store and was surprised to see CFLs that have a bulb around them so you can’t see the curly-cue. I picked up a couple of these for my dining room table overhead light. I also have been using them in other rooms for about 2 years, and have yet to replace one. Meanwhile, my remaining incandescent bulbs keep burning out. And, my Christmas tree is filled with LEDs for the first time ever. While the colors have improved, they still aren’t as warm as incandescent lights, but I feel like it’s a worthwhile swap since I’m saving on my electric bill, and helping the future of the planet!
