Just because we can’t do everything doesn’t mean we should do nothing…
I'm not saying do nothing, I'm saying don't watch so much crap on TV, have your toast light brown instead of dark, use a push mower instead of an electric one, share a shower

What's the cost difference in running a standard bulb for a year compared to an LED one . . . and what's the production cost difference?
