OK. What about all those compact flourescent light bulbs?

I feel a headache coming on.

Wal*Mart, the enemy of all except profit is selling them faster than Target sells popcorn.

Each one has an amount of mercury in it. All are made in China (not here).

The 'average American' throws literally *everything* they don't want into the trash. Recyclable or not...

What logic decided that much mercury in landfills was a good idea?

What Faustian bargain is this new found lust for fluorescent light bulbs going to offer the future?

Is there a better way?

Why isn't anyone concerned?

Why aren't the bulbs packaged with warnings, written in english, to dispose of the tubes in areas that allow for the proper disposal of that hazardous waste?

Is it worth it in the long run?

OUCH!!! Damn my head hurts...
