"Out-of-the-bin" Thinking
Question: Should I use compact fluorescents (CFLs) or L.E.D.s for lighting?
Answer: Both. By the way, when your CFLs burn out, you can now take them to the Service Desk at Home Depot or the Lansing Board of Water and Light. See "Meridian Twp. Recycling Options" or L.E.D. Fans Say Time Has Come or for even more lighting info here.
If you have question and/or green tips please send them along to harvey@meridian.mi.us or call 505-2809
