Common Craft Show, encore, this time a short online video on why to buy compact flourescent light bulbs. It would be hard to buy the old kind again after seeing New Light Bulbs in Plain English, their latest spoonful of common sense. Producer Lee LeFever explains:
Switching the types of light bulbs we use at home is a small but impactful way for nearly everyone to save money and help reduce pollution. We made this video because compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs make sense and we want people to make the switch.
This video is an obvious departure of our web-centric ways. We're still web-at-heart, but the Show may veer into foreign territory from time-to-time.
