Leave it to the Experts

Posted on July 23, 2009 | 1 Comment

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are difficult to dispose of. They contain mercury that can leak into the environment. If one breaks, cleaning it up is an even trickier matter. The EPA has a 19-point guideline on proper procedure.

Some smart-aleck came up with a simpler idea: Send your used light bulbs to Washington! They’re the experts. They’ll know what to do.

    Another “smart-aleck” has suggested we all send our used light bulbs to Washington on the same day: http://christopherfountain.com/2010/09/04/send-a-cfl-to-your-congressman/

    September 30 is Send Your Light Bulbs To Washington Day.

    Please help spread the word.
