Green Tip of the Month - April

LED bulbs may cost more upfront, but in the long run they save you money because they use less electricity and last longer. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average annual energy cost of a single incandescent bulb is about $4.80, while an LED's is only about $1 per year. It’s not a huge difference, but when you add up the number of bulbs in your home, those savings add up!
