[B]The answer is b.[/B]

Nearly 20 percent of our home’s electricity use goes to lighting. Choosing energy-efficient lighting is an easy way to start using energy wisely. Switch out a single light bulb or fixture in your home to a light that’s earned the government’s Energy Star for energy efficiency.

Most electricity in the United States is generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil, which release greenhouse gases into our air. So, when you use less energy, you help prevent global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. [B][I](CoCo)[/I][/B]
