I agree that CFLs are a no-brainer.

Also, what's your view on motion-sensored light switches? Do they use a lot of energy to function?

These bulbs can be found for even less than the price mentioned in this video. Philips and GE make very low mercury content CFLs (yes, unfortunately our current government has not put stricter rules on this, so companies have little reason to create the greenest CFL they can) and be sure to check if the light cast is 'warm white' or 'soft white', as these best mimic the spectrum emitted by incandescent bulbs and seem more natural and less 'fluorescent'.
