　　如果说本篇文章看了要告诉老妈(省电的任务还是交给家里的财政大臣),那么,下一篇文章就该跟同学好友分享分享了――无论你是否感兴趣,着装始终与我们的生活密切相关(我们也有理由给衣柜减负了)。什么时候这些大牌的平价时尚能悄然走入百姓家呢?期待啊~
　　
　　So according to the Environmental Protection Agency, swapping[用……替换] your old incandescent bulbs[白炽灯] for the latest in eco-friendly technology can reduce energy use by 50% to 75%. And with Congress getting close to passing an energy bill注 to phase out[(使)逐渐淘汰] that 125-year-old incandescent, it might be time to get, well, enlightened on the latest energy-saving options.
　　There are so many different kinds of light bulbs. You’ve got light emitting diodes � LEDs, CFLs � compact fluorescent light[紧凑型荧光灯] bulbs, halogens[卤素灯]. It’s really confusing. What should I be buying?
　　Expert: You can either buy a very inefficient bulb very inexpensively, your grandma’s bulb, the incandescent bulb. Or you can spend more money up front and pay far less in the out years and have them last a lot longer for either a compact fluorescent or you can find one in LED bulb. Right now compact fluorescents cost a fair amount of money to buy, but that money is more than paid-off in the lifetime of the bulb. But in the compact fluorescent are some things which you don’t want to get into the environment. So you got to recycle those.
　　It’s important to know that CFLs do contain about five milligrams of mercury. That’s a tiny amount. It’s about the same as a pen prick[刺痕]. But mercury is a toxic chemical, so you want to take caution especially should your CFL break or burn out. The Environmental Protection Agency has a comprehensive guide to proper CFL disposal. And another new option you might want to consider are LED, or light emitting diode bulbs. Now these bulbs are harder to find and they’re significantly more expensive, about 30 to 40 dollars each. But they also last a lifetime. They are also mercury-free, so you don’t have to worry about toxicity should they break. And whatever bulbs you choose, be sure to consider additional steps to limit your electricity usage. For example, dimmable[可调光的] light switches or motion sensors are a great way to curb[限制] energy use.
　　
　　美国国家环境保护局称,换掉旧白炽灯,改用沿用最新技术的环保照明灯具可以节约50%到75%的能源。随着美国国会即将通过一项逐步淘汰白炽灯(已有125年历史)的能源议案,是时候考虑最新的节能选择了。
　　市面上有各种各样的灯泡可供选择:发光二极管(LED)、紧凑型荧光灯(CFL)、卤素灯等等。的确很让人困惑,我到底该买哪一种呢?
　　专家:你可以选择以超低价购买超低效的灯泡,像你祖母那一代用的白炽灯。你也可以先花更多的钱买灯泡,在往后的日子里节省更多,(因为)这些紧凑型荧光灯或者LED灯泡更加持久耐用。紧凑型荧光灯目前的价格也许偏高,但是这个价格相对于灯泡的使用寿命来说是物超所值的。不过紧凑型荧光灯中含有对环境不利的物质,因此必须循环利用。
　　我们必须知道这个事实――CFL中含有大概5毫克的水银。这个量很少,大概相当于一条钢笔的划痕。但是水银是一种有毒化学物,所以在打破或者烧坏CFL的时候要特别小心。国家环境保护局出台了一份正确处理废弃CFL的综合指南。另一个可以考虑的新选择是发光二极管灯泡(LED)。这些灯泡目前很少出现在市面上,所以价格非常昂贵,每个大概要30到40美元,但是它们的使用寿命也很长。LED不含水银,所以它们被打破的时候你也不用担心毒性问题。不管你选择的是什么灯泡,一定要多花点心思控制电量消耗。例如,可调光开关或者运动传感器(开关)都是很棒的省电方法。
　　
　　注:美国众议院于2007年12月6日通过该能源法案(Energy Independence and Security Act),并于今年4月送交参议院进行审核。该法案建议从2012年1月至2014年1月逐步淘汰40、60、75及100W白灯泡。
