"Who are these people and what do they want?" you think. Or did you say that out loud? They proceed to tell you that they're from Eco Cabs, a company that is providing these emissions free cabs, for free, courtesy the sponsor enveloping their vehicle, 7UP in this case.

1. Change How You Light Things Up

Believe it or not those little light bulbs that you are using consume a lot of energy, so why not replace them light bulbs that consume a lot less energy? Replacing regular light bulbs with CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) Bulbs you can make a huge difference. What kind of a difference you ask? Look at these wattage stats of CFL bulbs compared to regular bulbs and then you tell me:

Regular Bulb / CFL Bulb

60w / 13w-15w75w / 20w100w / 26w-29w150w / 38w-42w
