HUH? I am exercising caution and common sense by NOT bringing mercury, as small amount as it is, into my home, and NOT enriching the retail whores who have jumped on the bandwagon known as the 'green movement' and are pushing every conceivable product know to man under the guise of being 'green'. I can't swing a dead cat without being bombarded by tv shows, newpaper articles, radio programs and shops who love to use the guilt card to entice people to buy their products. Never mind that my bulbs are still perfectly good. I gotta get rid of them and buy CFL bulbs. I should buy a hybrid to reduce emissions. My car is still running well, but I am ruining the earth for the future. I should borrow from library instead of buying my own personal books and DVD's.I should "reduce my carbon footprint."

I'm not an articulate person, but I got your 'footprint' right here. And just in case you are wondering..........we recycle here. Plastic bags go back to the store. plastic, tin and paper go in the weekly recyle bin. Unfortunately our city doesn't take glass but in another they did and you can bet that got recycled too.
