Actually, I think most people do get it, they just don't like being dictated to.

CF lights save a bit of energy (per individual light), Sodium lights use a lot of energy, but you don't see the local councils turning off all (or probably more sensibly half) of the millions of street lights - which would save MASSES of energy.

Yes, each CF light only has a small drop but a lot of small drops add up - do the government not say 'every little helps' (when if comes to saving energy), the same applies to a lot of small bits of pollution (except it doesn't help). And there are the phosphors used in the tube (I think) - which need to be reclaimed (Like an old TV CRT), Suddenly sounds like a lot of work to dispose of one small bulb, and all that disposal takes energy in some form or other......
