LittleGreenBulb is a project I started to use Instant Messaging (IM) chat bots, or Agents, to encourage people to quickly replace one million traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) bulbs.

What would one million new CFL bulbs in use for a year do?

• Save people $13.6 million dollars on their utility bills
• Prevent the release of 221,000,000 pounds of CO2 greenhouse gas
• Reduces greenhouse gases (CO2) by the same amount as taking 19,217 cars off the road

So how big of a difference can you make?
We reduced our power consumption by 24% compared to the same period a year ago for our six bedroom, 3000 sqf home with two adults, two children, and a cat in just over just three months by slowly replacing a total of 44 bulbs.

How do you get started?

• Add little.green.bulb@hotmail.com to your Messenger contact list and start a conversation and pledge to replace a few light bulbs
