Plus do either of you know how much pollution is generated by manufacturing these bulbs? For Joey & Jason: I too do not use CFLs because of mercury.

Although GE has announced a more efficient incandescent bulb so rather than jumping on the first bandwagon, let's see what else is out there. You will save money using them. Assuming its not broken, it needs to go to an approved disposal location. If you cannot find one locally, energystar.gov recommends that you seal it into a sealable plastic bag and then putting it into your regular garbage. They are efficient, more so than incandescent.

There are so many conflicting views that it's hard to know what is the best thing to do many times. I do use CFLs and have been very happy with them. I don't think that one has ever broken on me. That being said, I'm not sure if I know the correct way to dispose of them. I imagine it is not good to just place them in the trash. They probably also should not be put in the recycle bin. So what do you do with them when they do wear out? This is what is so frustrating about trying to do the right thing when it comes to saving energy.

I think there are places you can go and have these new bulbs recycled, but the truth is, the American people are not interested in doing that, unless you could throw them in your recycling bin at home, which you can't.

You are continually referring to logic and then again to psychological responses that people make. There have nothing to do with the fact that a particular element on the periodic table is harmful or not. Fact: it is. Period. Been proven. Repeatedly. Now I understand where you are coming from being as you have now explained yourself as an educator. And I applaud you for that. At first I was going to make a comment about being a well read student. Now I stand corrected. All of my beliefs are all founded by science and by evidence. I don't freely adhere to any ideas or dogmas or whatever without there being a slew of scientific fact behind it. It may be why I am a staunch Athiest. I don't believe in the ridiculous. But when the CDC and all other scientific bodies tell me and the world that an element, that is used day to day, is harmful, I tend to take notice. Its the same as using lead based paint. Should I just go ahead and continue to use it or not worry about the paint chips falling off the wall even though there may be a child in the house? OR do I follow the efforts of countless researchers and try to avoid the lead paint? Its the same argument. But for some reason you feel that I and others are following a hysteria. There is no hysteria. I'm not panicking about it. It doesn't affect my day other than writing this. So I fail to see why, if I don't follow the "environmentalist thought of the day", that I am all of a sudden being questioned about my logic and my steadfast beliefs. I was referring to Paul Slovic.
