Working with Light Bulbs

By:  Leialoha Bugarin

Want to save electricity and our earth? Of course you do! How will we help save electricity and our earth you wonder? Well first of all start using CFL light bulbs (swirly light bulbs) because it lasts 10x longer than the incandescent light bulbs (round ones). CFL also uses 75% less electricity than the incandescent light bulbs.

         

          In fact our school, Keone'ula will help. All you need to do is bring in your old incandescent light bulbs to our school. Then we will give you CFL light bulbs for free! Or you can give it to a student in Keone'ula who is in 6th grade, then they will exchange them for your FREE CFL light bulbs. So if you give us 3 old light bulbs we give you 3 CFL light bulbs.

          Now for some fun facts! Did you know that Hawaii uses more oil in one day than the U.S.? This is actually bad because this oil is a fossil fuel and it takes a long time to be created. So if we use too much and we run out, we won't be able to use it in a very long time. Another reason why it is bad is because we get this oil from foreign countries. Which means the oil travels on ships and if the ship sinks, the oil will spill into our ocean. If the oil spills in our ocean, corals will die, fishes will die, and then there won't be a big population of fish any more. The last reason why is because it comes from our earth, and where do we live? Earth! So please try and help our earth by participating and doing other fundraisers to save our earth.
