We changed out all our light bulbs from regular to CFLs (with the exception of 3-way bulbs).

ERIKA from Santa Barbara, CA 07.12.10

Like many of you reading this, I love riding my bike for transportation, fitness and fun. Since 2005, my bike has also allowed me to get around without owning a car. My cargo bike carries full loads of groceries, my surfboard and even a friend!

We own two hybrids and have changed out all our lights to compact fluorescent lights.

TINA, JOHNNIE, CIENNA, AND ALELYA from Santa Barbara, CA 07.01.10

We make sure we turn off all our lights and keep the windows open for fresh cool air, instead of using air conditioning.

ROSE PIZZORNO from Santa Barbara, CA 07.01.10

We use a clothes line instead of a dryer (and we also shop at the thrift store).

I changed all my light bulbs to the new compact fluorescent lights which were on sale 8 for $.99 at CostCo.

SHAY from Santa Barbara, CA 07.01.10

I turn off all the lights and I bike.

FOREST AND LAUREN from Santa Barbara, CA 07.01.10

David from Santa Barbara, CA 05.26.10

In our storefronts (Unique Tan), we’ve installed three sets of highly efficient washers and dryers, we’ve changed out all our lights to compact fluorescent lights and we use a whole store fan system to cool instead of air conditioning. At our house, we’ve installed a highly efficient pool heater.
