We found another fun web site on Planet Green – part of the Discovery Channel’s network – called Battleground Earth.  Battleground Earth is an online game – the objective is to shoot as many incandescent lightbulbs as possible.  Good luck – it’s kind of addictive! 

TCP was recently featured in a Residential Lighting Magazine article on TCP’s energy efficient lighting sponsorship of MTV’s The Real World:Hollywood house.

And finally, for those of you old enough to remember Schoolhouse Rock, you’ll enjoy this :60 second video for Gulf Power.  This nostalgic piece encourages viewers to switch to CFLs.  Enjoy!

The 20th season of MTV’s “The Real World” has decided to get real green by featuring environmentally friendly household and lifestyle choices and TCP, Inc. was there to light the way!

“Switching incandescent light bulbs to more energy efficient options is one of the easiest ways to help the environment,” said Chuck Aubrey, Real World: Hollywood production designer. “TCP understood our lighting needs and rose to the challenge by providing the lighting products needed to make this season’s Real World home, more energy-efficient.”

In addition to energy efficient lighting, “The Real World” house will boast other energy efficient elements, including bamboo flooring, solar energy panels, recycled glass counters, recycled, vintage décor, sustainable furniture, energy star appliances and a solar-heated swimming pool.
