Did you know?

I was listening to the news last night when I heard this. Did you know that light bulbs can be bad for your health. Energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs-8000 hour long life bulbs that slashes your light bills contain mercury-potentially potent toxic. Government experts are urging people not to throw them away. So what are you supposed to do when it light bulbs burn out? You should properly recycle them in your home. But only a handful of counties in the country recycles them. Also,ACE and other hardware stores are encouraging franchise owners to create in store recycling centers for these light bulbs.

Is there nothing safe in the world today! It seems we are doomed by our own inventions

Didn't know that...hang on while I grab another twinkie.

Klarque- I agree with you. Yet this is supposed to slash my light bill. I don't want to spend more money ( In the hospital ) by saving money. Thanks for your comments.

Guy -Yup! I didn't know that either. That's crazy isn't it? Thanks for commenting.

Fluorescent tubes have always been a disposal problem. The new LED lights are probably much safer and less hazardous to dispose of.

Eric -Interesting. I never knew that. Thanks for your comments.

Hi Lanre,

This is good information to pass along, my husband was just telling me about this. :)

Much better! Like this!

Interesting... I did not know that! So what is safe out there then? So what is safe to use in our own homes then?

Suzanne - You are very welcome. People definitely need to know about this.

Eleanor - Hey Mikey! I think Eleanor likes this -LOL. I am glad you like it. Thanks for the advice. I continue to check with you more often.

Naoma - I don't know what's safe anymore. If aint one thing it is another. Thanks for your comments

Lanre, what should you do with them then??? You can't eat this or that, and now the light bulb's can hurt as well.

Lanre, thanks for the tip! I thought you just weren't supposed to eat them. Another thing about the new bulbs - they are totally unflattering! But that's not as important as saving energy!

Ray-What is this world coming to? It seems everyday you can't do this or that. I just don't get it anymore. Thanks for your comments.

Tom -Neither did I tom. You are very welcome.

Patricia -You are the first person to hear say that the new bulbs are totally unflattering. Thanks for your comments.

Lanre: I just read about recycling light bulbs earlier. i don't remember knowing this before. But now I do, I will recycle properly. But there should be easily located public bins so people will know.
