When we burn coal, oil or other fossil fuels to make things like electricity, we impact how quickly our climate is changing. That\u2019s because fossil fuels release greenhouse gases when they\u2019re burned, which then build up in the Earth\u2019s atmosphere and cause the planet to warm faster than it has in the past.<\/p>\n<p><b>That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we save electricity!<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-46454\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs.png\" alt=\"flip-the-switch-lightbulbs\" width=\"177\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs.png 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs-420x420.png 420w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs-55x55.png 55w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/flip-the-switch-lightbulbs-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 177px) 100vw, 177px\" \/>Your Mission: Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs and help conserve electricity in your home!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In this Mission, we\u2019ll help you make the switch to energy-efficient light bulbs and show you how saving electricity can help the planet.
