The Case for Compact Fluorescent Lights:

If every American home replaced one bulb with an Energy Star CFL, the greenhouse gas emissions of 800,000 cars would be prevented from going into the atmosphere. You'd save about $30 on energy costs over the life of each bulb.

Why It's Good:

A shimmery mirror such as this one decorated with abalone shells brings a shot of glamour to a casual, laid-back interior. Encrusting decorative objects with seashells is an age-old tradition, and you may be inspired yourself to get out the glue gun.

Why It's Green:

The shells are hand-gathered in the Philippines, where the supply is plentiful, and causing no harm to marine life. They are then glued to a reclaimed wood frame using non-toxic glue.
