The Light Bubb Comes On

I haven't noticed it so much in this part of Arkansas, but my dad, a native Arkansan, used to pronounce light "bulb" as light "bubb," and he would get so mad if any of us tried to correct him, it became a family joke.

This may seem pretty basic for those of you already in the green, but one of the easiest things you can do to help the environment is to switch your regular light "bubbs" out for the more energy efficient compact fluorescent bulb.

We started doing this a couple of years ago as the old ones burn out. Go to the cool Environmental Defense website and you can see how much money this will save you on your electric bill:
