Saving TI's Energy, One Bulb at a Time.........posted Dec 11, 2006

Tikvat Israel's Environmental Task Force is holding a fund raiser to sell Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) during Hanukkah.

Contact the synagogue office to place your order.

The funds will allow the synagogue to purchase energy-saving CFLs to replace many of the light bulbs in the building.

Why buy CFLs?

• They use 75 percent less energy to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb. A 23-watt CFL can replace a 100-watt incandescent, and a 14-watt CFL can replace a 60-watt incandescent.
• They last 10 times longer. The life of a CFL is up to 10,000 hours per bulb, compared to less than 1,000 hours for an incandescent.

How to order:

Purchase a 5-pack of 100-watt bulbs for $15 or a 4-pack of 60-watt equivalent for $12. Of each purchase, $2 goes to help the synagogue buy new bulbs.
