This is a pretty cool addition to any blog or profile

Found this yesterday, don't know if it's been posted here or not but, it's a website that tells you how many CFL bulbs have been sold in your area. It tells you what the impact of using those bulbs would be i.e. how many cars off the road, how many tons of coal not burned etc. It also provides a running count "badge" that you can add to your blog or profile or wherever you'd like to put it. It's pretty cool! Check it out.

4. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

But I'm a little dubious about it's source. Yahoo? Nielson?

6. I'm not sure that yahoo is the actual source.

I think they just sponsored or hosted the real site, 18 seconds.org.

7. Looks like they're hosting it.

Anyway, it is pretty cool.

I'm just kind of amazed that White Cloud, er, I mean St. Cloud in MN (where batshit crazy Michelle Bachmann is US Rep) is totally out-buying Minneapolis in CFLs.

:shrug:

5. Believe it or not Colorado Springs

is more "enlightened" than Denver! At least when it comes to CFL's, that's probably the only thing we're more enlightened than!

8. The trouble with C Springs isn't the level of ignorance, it's the volume of noise they make.

It's deafening.

9. Tell me about it

But, I'm doing my part to be just as loud! Believe it or not, there are more of us here than most people think. Unfortunately, I think many feel intimidated by the crazies here. There is a movement here though.
