I know, I know, you've heard all about them before. CFLs save energy and save you money. It's true! CFLs use 75% LESS energy than traditional incandescents. And since the average American household spends 10% of its energy on lighting, replacing all the bulbs in your house with CFLS can reduce your energy bill by 7.5%. So why haven't you made the switch? Because they are ugly, because they are too expensive, because they don't last the 7-10 years they claim. But just as incandescents come in different types for different applications, so do CFLs.&nbsp; Check out this <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103093133310&amp;s=1&amp;e=001kdjQfARWddFbdrtyI7HV5h09wSaswLR0NYpz3JSR0SkF1FHB0z0NQCfQTxy8Ukeqt7aG7vBQOansL4cpty5dMXTMIHTgC2ifZp2-d_8dtq98qeeG3LqH7rxMFknCmdUGc5nk1MRtomBnpRnxR9cpsbGmklrB8I3p" target="_blank" track=on shape=rect linktype=link><b><span style='color:#5BB247;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'>guide</span></b></a> to CFLs to see if you can't find an appealing option for each light location in your house (click <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103093133310&amp;s=1&amp;e=001kdjQfARWddG43ExJknLp2AGyJVcr-UEDKqdNZ9p4V1YN4hBZYMlGbDJVQoaE5nEhLQW0Ntk--b9_cDvgh44uLU6VtVGHn8W0qV_eZdeGhK44X-KFEK9rkFCmLqwPvypVVazRjT2KM-RC4UnvCCF1Dw==" target="_blank" track=on shape=rect linktype=link><b><span style='color:#5BB247;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'>here</span></b></a> for the interactive version).

One of our AmeriCorps members, Bill Kauffman (left), conceived the idea of the Community Warehouse in 2009 and created a partnership with the Germantown Home Depot to be a part of their Gifts in Kind Program. Through this program, the Germantown Home Depot donates up to $40,000 worth of unused products and building supplies to RTMC a month. To date we have received $150,000 worth of doors, windows, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, lumber, carpet, etc. These donations are then available for other non-profit organizations in the community to use and also allow us to serve more low-income homeowners through our own programs.

In 2010, we are challenging communities to do even better. The 2010 Census questionnaires will be delivered from March 15-17, 2010; it contains just 10 questions and takes no more than 10 minutes to complete.

And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.
