__How can I save electricity?__
Research and Expirement

=
For Talent 21 I will be doing my research on how I can save energy and electrical appliances. How much energy an average person uses and how many people use eco-friendly devices, gadgets and appliances. Wasting too much energy may cause green house gases. Creating too much green house gases can destroy the ozone layer which protects the earth from dangerous disasters. ======

__ The CFL light bulb __ Nela Park in East Cleveland, Ohio, Ed Hammer created the CFL light bulb in 1980. Ed Hammer was looking of a way to save electricity and invented the CFL light bulb. After years of planning creating the CFL light bulb was maybe the greatest achievement he has ever done.

 * ** Playing outside instead of watching television and going on the computer ** || ** Will burn less energy and will also save you money from your electrical bill ** ||

__ Experiment __ The experiment I am doing is on how much electricity each light bulb uses and which one is best for the environment. The light bulbs I am experimenting are the LED, CFL and the Incandescent bulbs. Out of the three light bulbs I think that the LED saves more electricity and is greatest for the environment.

The graph shows how much energy each amount of light bulb uses. The incandescent light bulb is the worst light bulb out. The incandescent light bulb uses more electricity than any other light bulb. CFL light bulbs contain mercury so if they get thrown away and crushed mercury will start to disperse everywhere. The best light bulb made so far is the LED light bulb but they do have a high price.
