You can also say its hard to see the harmful effects of the mercury in just one or just a few CFL bults.
Multiply that by millions over the years, and what have you got?
We can't get most people to recycle paper plastic or aluminum if they pick it up weekly.
How on earth do you get them to "responsibly recycle" these things?
If you want to truly be environmentally conscious, come up with something that doesn't contain a poison.
Saving energy at the expense of even more pollution just doesn't make sense.
