Step it Up!

An article on MSN today talked about how Wal-Mart might turn off the incandescent lightbulb for good! You may have to re-read that sentence a few times before it clicks, but it seems that one of America's largest and most influential players on the economy is doing some good for the Earth!

"Wal-Mart pledged to sell 100 million CFLs this year. The megaretailer stacked CFLs (compact fluorescent lightbulbs) front and center, hammered out deals with suppliers like General Electric, and enticed customers the only way it knew how: by appealing to their desier to save money. According to a calculator on Wal-Mart's Web site, replacing 30 incandescent bulbs with CFLs can save more than $1,000 over the life of the bulbs—real money for a Wal-Mart shopper. At Wal-Mart, CFLs are cheap: A six-pack of 26-watt GE CFL bulbs goes for $15.16. And they're getting cheaper. In September, Wal-Mart introduced a cheaper private-label CFL that undercuts name brands."
