Green Light
| *Sponsored post* I love the fact that going green and being environmentally conscious fits in so well with being frugal. So many things that are better for the environment are also better for my bank account. LED lights are a pretty good example of this. Inexpensive to begin with, this decorative rope light burns cooler, uses less energy and lasts longer than decorative incandescent light strings--better for the planet, better for my bank account. It's pretty awesome the way those two things tend to go hand-in-hand. Now if only I could get my mom to switch. She uses white incandescent Christmas lights to illuminate the top of her kitchen cabinets and all of the knick-knacks she keeps up there. I like the idea, but once I get my own house I plan to duplicate it using warm white LED rope lights. So far my attempts to get my mom to change out ANY of her light bulbs have met with nothing but failure. My bet is that once my husband and I get settled in our own house and we can compare energy bills, Mom will finally come around. Labels: disclosure, frugality, green, PPP |
