At the climate change conference Katie was given a free LED home light bulb, which uses about half the power of a compact fluorescent, contains no mercury, and lasts for 25 years. Twenty-five years!

Wow, I said to her, this is a family heirloom now. We'll have this at home longer than our kids.

She replied, "Yeah. If we're lucky."

25 years? That's crazy. I'm worried my kids will stay with me longer than that too.

It is crazy. I got several a year ago. None of them were near as bright as they said, and they only lasted a couple of months. A couple of months!
