Green Teens Earth Day '08: CFL Exchange
Image
In order to Celebrate Earth Day 2008 the Green Teens set up a CFL Exchange at the Mansfiled Community Center. We put out a press release asking the public to bring in their old/used incandecent bulbs and for each one collected, we gave out a free CFL. The club gave out 250 or so bulbs, and collected many more (people tended to drop off all of their old light bulbs since the town does not have an Incandecent Bulb recycling program and it usually costs about 30 cents to properly dispose of a bulb)! Northeast Lamp Recycling carted away all of our bulbs, free of charge, and made sure they were recycled properly!
