The EEC would like to welcome the newest business in town, the Enfield Energy Emporium at 60 Main Street in Enfield which had its grand opening Saturday April 11, 2009. http://www.energyemp.com
The Compact Fluorescent puts out a wide variety of light using less than 1/4 as much energy as an incandescent bulb.
Enfield spent over $25,000 last year to run 227 streetlights which consume more then 102,756 Kilowatt hours a year emitting more then 77 TONS of Co2.

Why Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified CFL bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars. More information is available on the Energy Star website.
We recycle FLUORESCENT LAMP TUBES — all sizes and shapes. Store and package your bulbs in the original cardboard box, if possible. Broken or cracked bulbs are not recyclable!More information is available in the Solid Waste & Recycling Program Guide.
