In the liberal bastion of New Jersey they have started hanging little 'Project Porchlight' boxes on doorknobs all across the state. Inside is a note that reads:
"Change a bulb and save. A CFL bulb uses up to 75% less energy than old-fashioned bulbs. Save up to $30 in energy costs. Every light bulb change means less pollution, lower cost and reduced demand for electricity which means healthier, cleaner air, environmental and public health benefits. Be the light in your community. This lamp contains Mercury."

This is paid for with tax dollars.
Nice!!!

They want you to be more careful with your apostrophes, too.

Sounds more like they are trying to encourage people to use their brains.

who says that using a more energy efficient bulb is a Liberal thing? You conservatives don't have to oblige & you can stick to your 19th. century gas lamps for all I care.

Omg...this is what is called a public service announcement. It is not like they set up a slush fund for politicized churches like the Republicans did with the faith based initiative, talk about trying to control people.

Liberal's?

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES FROM THE *LIBERAL'S*! Be a conservative, instead of spreading info. on energy saving, just start a war in the oil fields of the war and send gas prices to 5.00 a gallon!

You miss the point. The market should be allowed to function. If people want to buy CFLs, then let them. The Government should not meddle in these things. They don't have the constitutional authority to mandate one type of lightbulb vs another. I don't mind CFLs on the market and may choose to buy them. What I do mind if Government shoving them down my throat.
