I wish someone would just start telling the truth about these so-called “environment friendly” light bulbs.

Now you people do realize that the new light bulbs contain mercury, right?  If not, then just take a good look at the package it is labeled.  How will the people dispose of the bulbs when they are replaced?  The trash will be a good guess.  If so, then that means that mercury will be put into the US landfill system.  And eventually the mercury will build up in the water table and fianlly infect the food supply.

In case you are interested–mercury poisoning is has an extensive list of problems from psychological to gastro-intestinal.

I have heard that there will be special disposal sites set up so that people will bring in their spent bulbs for disposal.  Think about that…..a culture that lives and dies by a remote and buys salad shooters…just how many will take the time to drop off spent bulbs?  The CFLs are NOT the answer to the energy problem.  let me see if I have this about right?  I use the bulbs to lessen the impact of air pollution while feeding an increase in water pollution.  Sorry, I am not that stupid!  Are you?

Time for the people to wake up! A wonderful thing, energy saving, but everything comes at a price and the CFLs have a price. My question is why would anyone support anything that would have such lasting effects? We settle for short term feel good solutions and the whole time we are poisoning our children’s children. Good plan!
