Engineer A Greener Life

Girl Scouts in Oregon donated $250 from their hard-earned cookie money to the Southern Oregon Historical Society to buy energy-efficient LED light bulbs.  In a time when cultural budgets are being cut, this is a gift that will keep giving as it reduces the energy costs for the historical society.  LED lightbulbs are a great choice by the Girl Scouts because, while the inital costs are higher than CFLs, they use much less energy (3 – 13 watts) and are reported to last tens of thousands of hours.  When these Girl Scouts graduate from high school, their light bulbs may still be going strong!
