We've been doing our part on helping the Earth as much as we can with little things like recycling, using our Nalgene/Sigg water bottles, turning down the heat, taking the shuttle to work etc. But lately we have taken some bigger steps. We replaced all our bulbs with CFLs and now drive a hybrid car.But this does not come without a cost. For some reason, our switches do not work well with the CFLs in our family room. Hence, in order to turn on any lights, we must go through the following steps:
- Turn on switch
- Run over to lamp
- Unscrew CFL bulb
- Screw in normal bulb
- Turn lamp switch a notch
- Run over to switch and press again
- Run back and unscrew normal bulb and replace with CFL before it gets too hot

It is so nice to see that lots of people in the Bay Area and elsewhere too, are doing all we can to be green.
