They aired a story about those Eco-friendly-this -will-save-you-money-on-your-electric-bill light bulbs. Yessir,these babies last a lot longer than regular bulbs and use less energy. You all know the ones I mean: those curly light bulbs. The problem is that these bulbs contain MERCURY!!! Gasp! Oh no! NBC said don’t break one or you will have a serious problem. They showed a guy disposing of one like it was hazardous waste because, as the story reported IT IS hazardous waste. General Electric makes the ones I have in my home, NBC reported that there are approximately 4 million of these bulbs being used. Guess what? As good as they might be, they will burn out. Then what in the hell are we supposed to do with them? NBC reprted that they cannot go into a landfill but exactly how would anyone know? So like I said: So much for going green.
