CFLS: Pledge to change your lightbulbs from incandescent bulbs to Compact Fluorescent Lights!
Simply go to: www.fsu-clf.com !
Changing your bulbs is a great way to save energy usage and costs as well as reduce your ecological footprint. California is considering banning all incandescent bulbs and switching to CFLs - which we think is an awesome idea. It only takes a few minutes! (And don't forget to dispose of them properly after use.)
Stop by the office, Oglesby Union A224
to find out more.

VIDEO:
Biofuels: Think Outside The Barrel : This is an awesome lecture on Flex Fuels and the need for the US to concentrate on the use of ethanol.
Sustainability Commercial - Victoria, Australia : Even if the commercial is intended for Australian citizens, this commercial applies to everyone and how they can lower their impact on global climate change. It's a brief, effective message worth consideration.

Truth is, we don't watch much TV.
