What I find interesting is that people here are decrying the hazards of CFL's. When, according to the government website, CFL's have less than regular fluorescent tube lights.
Those of you who are against CFL's...did you know that fluorescent tubes that we have been using for YEARS also have mercury in them?
From the EPA website:
"The amount of mercury in a low-mercury bulb can range from 3.5 to 4 milligrams compared to a standard fluorescent bulb which ranges from 8 to 14 milligrams of mercury."
