Lighting For A Better Tomorrow TAF

Thank you for Taking Action today!
Our campaign is largely based on word of mouth. You can help us spread the message by telling your friends or contacts about the need for Senate to pass the Energy Efficient Lighting for a Brighter Tomorrow Act without loopholes that prevent savings of 13 million dollars a year and the carbon emissions caused by 40 large power plants.

Below is a brief letter you can send to your email circle.

Please Tell Us what you did and don't forget to take EDN's pledge to switch your own lightbulbs!

Hi Friends,

I want to let you know about an important campaign affecting the future of our planet.

For years, Congress has been on the fence about energy issues and their impact on our environment.  Now, at last , politicians on Capitol Hill have realized that this is the time to pass legislation that leads our nation towards energy efficiency, a greener economy and environment, and ultimately toward reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

The proposed light bulb standard in Senate bill 2017, The Energy Efficient Lighting for a Brighter Tomorrow Act, has the potential to save an enormous amount of energy by setting minimum light bulb standards which could ultimately save you and other consumers 13 billion dollars a year on your electric bills, not to mention roughly the same amount of power as produced by 40 large power plants.

However, loopholes in the bill may prevent these savings from happening! In the current version, any manufacturer can get around the new light bulb standard just by so much as changing the shape of their light bulbs.

Please join me in speaking up by joining Earth Day Network's campaign and let your voice be heard on the Hill! More information at www.earthday.net/lightbulb.

Thanks for your help,

Here is the message that we are going to append:
