Poster Contest

Using compact fluorescent light bulbs (cfl) is a good thing to do because they use approximately 1/4 the electricity of a regular light bulb. That saves you money and helps the environment. They come in many shapes to fit your present light sockets. If you use your imagination some of those shapes may remind you of other things like spaceships or a pig’s tail for example.

Your challenge is to look at these shapes, use your imagination, and create a poster which includes an object that has the shape of a cfl.
