     Hi! My name is Flossie. I'm an energy-efficient light bulb, I  save
     energy by using less electricity. Let me tell you a little about our
     Earth and what I'm doing to make it a better place. Draw your-
     self and your family, friends and pets on the Earth and then
     color it.

         One °f ^e many wavs we use electricity is to light our houses
         and offices. Let me tell you more about how I work for the
         environment. I  am a compact fluorescent light bulb and come
         in many shapes and sizes. Light bulbs like me save energy
because we last  longer than other light bulbs. Because we use less
energy, we  make less air pollution.

This is my old friend Inky, the incandescent light bulb. He's
been around for a long time. You have probably seen him in
most of the lights you have in your home. He's not as energy
efficient as I am, and I can replace him in many of the lights in
your home and in the places where your parents work. Please color me
and my friend Inky!
