ONE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that the type of light bulb you buy makes a difference to the amount of energy your home uses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheapest incandescent bulbs aren\u2019t the best when it comes to using energy! Saving a dollar at the store can actually end up costing your house more in electricity and can cause more damage to the environment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are simple steps to do your part at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Decide which energy efficient bulb is best for your space: CFL or LED? Discover their main differences on the Earth Rangers App!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Figure out how bright they\u2019ll need to be. Less lumens mean less light! For indoors, you\u2019ll want something not too strong with about 450 lumens. Save the bright guys, (bulbs with around 1600 lumens) for outdoor use where you need loads of light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong>&nbsp;Replace your incandescent bulbs with your new energy-efficient ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong>&nbsp;Snap a picture with all the inefficient bulbs you\u2019ve switched out before you dispose of them safely, then share it with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"142\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FTS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-583560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FTS.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FTS-300x71.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s important because\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using less energy means releasing less greenhouse gas emissions, which means you\u2019re helping to fight climate change, right from home!

The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) gives scientists, researchers, policy makers, and other organizations a chance to share ideas for dealing with climate change.
