How’s that for a bumpersticker? Next to my Gore 2000?

Today is Blog Action Day. That means a link to the compact fluorescent light (CFL) Wikipedia and me telling you that they don’t just save money (no, really), but they save the world in oh so many ways: carbon footprint, coal mining, greenhouse emissions, energy consumption, etc. I know the light produced feels like a fifth-grade classroom but they’ve improved much. Try one.

They also leak mercury into your landfill so don’t be trashing the curvy/spinny bulbs. If you need to dispose your CFLs you can do so at your local IKEA store … they do trash the right way. Pick up some dorm furnishings while you’re at it.

An Earth-saving, curvy, spinny, and toxic CFL. Hg isn’t short for “hug”
