Swap out your incandescent lightbulbs for compact fluorescent
bulbs. "They use about 66 percent less energy, and they last 10
times longer," says Anca Novacovici, president of Eco-Coach. Worry
not - bulb technology is finally catching up to your design
aesthetic. The latest compact fluorescent bulbs don't throw off
that odd blue light, and they even look like their incandescent
counterparts, so your lamp shades will continue to sit snugly.
