Just wanted to also quickly mention the free CFL bulb exchange that will take place at Greenfest, courtesy of Atlanta Light Bulbs, Inc..

Attendees will receive 1 compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb in exchange for signing an agreement to discard 1 regular, incandescent bulb when they get home. However, if attendees bring an incandescent bulb to the event, they can receive 2 CFL bulbs! According to the Environmental Protection Agency, CFL bulbs use 75% less energy and last 10 times as long. The average CFL will save about $30 over its life, and pay for itself within 6 months.

Supplies are limited, so come early to get your free CFLs. The light bulb exchange will last while supplies do. The City of Decatur would like to thank Atlanta Light Bulbs, Inc. for sponsoring this event. Learn more about their company at www.atlantalightbulbs.com
