Which is more environmentally friendly?

Question

...replacing all your lightbulbs with low energy one and throwing the incandescent bulbs away (into ladfill), or using the incandescent bulbs until they blow (thus using more electricity), then replacing them.

Answer 1

Give the old bulbs away to someone else (who already uses incandescent bulbs) rather than throw them away. Then switch to using the low energy ones.

Answer 2

Throwing the old bulbs out straight away is the low energy solution

Answer 3

replacing all your lightbulbs with low energy one and throwing the incandescent bulbs away (into ladfill),

Answer 4

Replace them with the low-energy ones. Then keep your old ones stored away for emergencies/replacements when the other ones finally blow and you can't get to the store to replace them right away.

Answer 5

Unless you can recycle the old bulbs, I'd use em until they burn out. Or use the regular bulbs in the lamps that don't get used very often. (guest room) or in areas where they may not last as long. (outside)

Answer 6

Hay whether they burn out or not you are going to replace them and now or later they will be going into landfill, or they should actually be recycled cause glass and metal are recyclable. So just replace them now and bring your electric bill down.

Answer 7

the more environmentally friendly ones are just to get the energy saving ones in the first place

Answer 8

Energy consumption decides in favour of low energy ones.

Answer 9

You're still going to throwt hem into the landfill, so obviously, replace them now.
