We’ve pulled together a short video to recap last week’s kickoff of 18Seconds.org, the campaign we launched in conjunction with Lawrence Bender (who we can now officially refer to as the Oscar-winning producer of “An Inconvenient Truth” — way to go, Lawrence!), the EPA, Department of Energy, AC Nielsen, Wal-Mart, Environmental Defense, and others to educate Americans about the cost-saving and environmental benefits of switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Have a look below. Then check out the Flickr set from the launch event. And then go change a light bulb.

I’m very excited about this project. Can’t wait to see what Yahoo! does with Earth Day this year.

Compact fluorescents are a great idea, but bear in mind that incandescents can be innovative, too. A recent Slashdot story showed new incandescents are being developed that are on par with CFLs for energy efficiency.

So what? So, compact fluorescents contain mercury, and you’re not allowed to just toss that in the garbage.
