Not Such A Bright Idea

We need to educate ourselves in order to insure our own safety and those we love, not to mention the environment in which we live.  I hear a lot of talk about changes being made to help our environment but you need to know the only one that is going to protect you is you yourself.  That is why educating yourself is a wise choice.

We now can not find in our stores the light bulbs we use to use, we have energy saving light bulbs now, sounds good, but is it?  I think the package should contain the handling of these light bulbs and the danger they can cause if one breaks.  CAUTION SHOULD READ CLEARLY ON THE PACKAGE LABEL, BUT IT DOESN’T.  These Bulbs contain small amounts of Mercury 

Most of the people I have talked to do not know how to properly dispose or clean up a broken energy saver light bulb, and yes this could be hazardous to your health.  How many of us run to get the vacuum so that no little bits of glass remain, yes we want to keep our family safe.  But are we?

Click onto the site that tells you how to properly dispose and clean up a broken light bulb. 


Do you feel like you are saving energy?  Or do you feel like you are endangering your family friends and planet.  All energy bulbs I believe are manufactured out of our country.  The regular light bulbs that were manufactured here will not be manufactured and perhaps the manufacturing has already stopped. 

What will be the long term effect?  Does anyone really know, is this really going GREEN?  What the heck were they thinking?
