    I am participating in "Green Week" by not watching NBC.
    See? I'm saving electricity!

    If Meredith Vieira was to read this article, I am not sure she would even understand it. Matt on the other hand is just playing along, making his millions.

    They are much cheaper, yeah, and last longer than incandescent bulbs, but the light they cast can be bad for people who are photosensitive (like me). I know because my workplace has so many fluorescent panels and I get migraines all the time.

In my home, I have incandescent bulbs in the bathroom and DIY LED bulbs everywhere else, which I can use a diffuse type of different colors to have illumination that does not cause me pain.
