Free CFLs!→[More:]
Home Depot's giving away free Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs this Sunday. Get a few and save a couple bucks along with the environment!
heh, of course around here Home Depot came a few years ago and to build a store they tore down a couple dozen acres of forest, blasted a road (not a driveway mind you) trough a hillside where there was none before, added significantly to the strip mall effect where it built, all in defiance of a non-binding city resolution asking that the land they used not be developed, but you know they care about the environment and stuff.
(sorry, I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade, but that whole episode left a bad taste in my mouth re: Home Despot, plus a certain cynical part of me thinks this is a PR campaign because of the horrible drubbing HD has taken in the press the pass year or so)
er, yeah that wasn't aimed at CFLs, 95% of what we use are those, about once a year in MN the power company subsidizes the purchase price and you can get them for ` $1 - $3 a bulb at the local hardware store, bee's knees and cat's pajamas
