For some homeowners, cutting energy costs can be a real problem. Questions of where to start, and what options are available can quickly overwhelm even the savviest consumers. Luckily, there is one simple solution that doesn’t require thousands of dollars or handyman skills. Making the switch from regular to CFL light bulbs is not only easy, but results in immediate savings. Each of these bulbs can save you $6 a year, and last much longer than traditional bulbs. Don’t wait until your old bulbs burn out, start replacing the lights in your home today!

About the Illinois Environmental Council
The Illinois Environmental Council Education Fund engages in education and outreach and provides a forum for environmentalists. The Illinois Environmental Council serves as the environmental community's eyes, ears and voice in Springfield.  The two organizations - collectively known as IEC - work together to ensure a more healthful environment for Illinois residents. 

IEC promotes sound environmental laws and policies. We encourage decision makers in the private sector to go beyond minimum standards to establish new environmental best practices. We credit those who lead, innovate, and inspire others to follow their example. 

Since its founding in 1975 by a group of dedicated grassroots environmentalists, IEC has sponsored issue advocacy campaigns and projects. This has allowed environmental organizations to pool their resources to create a higher profile for our issues in Springfield and Washington D.C. About 50 environmental and community organizations and 100 individuals from around the state are members of IEC today.
