Quote: Here I thought I'd share a bit of research I did over the past few days. Are incandescents better because they don't contain mercury? NO.
We can reduce mercury pollution from CFLs to zero by taking two steps: 1) use clean sources of power, 2) recycle the bulbs after they blow.
Think about it.

You know, recycling is a great idea. They should put a 10 cent deposite on each bulb. You know you cannot find an empty soda can on the ground in Michigan? Really, you can't just try.
people don't throw out dimes the way they do nickles, it's the just enough differnce that gets people to save them up and head out to the store.
Deposite recycling is just about the best idea ever and it costs the consumer net nothing. I've never understood why it wasn't more widely used.
