Damn light bulbs are advertised as being "green" and eco-friendly. Supposed to save energy and help save the planet.

They're package in a big plastic bubble pack. WTF?

Are those the ones with mercury that require a Hazmat manual to dispose?

Duwan, ain't you the gregarious one?

Coming up with all sorts of thread topics.

You work?

^ I see that you are still in need of some additional reeducation. there is no place for logic in the brave new world of hope and change.

(BTW, how many of the CF bulbs contain mercury? How may of said mercury containing bulbs are/will end up in our land fills. How much mercury will leach back into our food and water systems.)

Home Depot sells them for;

4 @ $5.85

12 @ $17.55

The 12 pack comes in a easy open box.

The CFL are great lights. They just take a few seconds

to reach there full power.

Just suck it up with a shop vac, dump it in the neighbor's yard, and apply for Federal funds to pay for the cleanup.

I've never broken a light bulb. If someone is realy clumsy, they should hire someone to change there burnt out light bulbs. Home Depot recycles the CFLs.
