Compact Flourescent Bulbs Pack Mercury Wallop

As much as the public has become mass-hypnotized by the current campaign and governmental nod toward compact flourescent light bulbs, there remains a potent poison in each and every one of them.

Late last year the same government who so breathlessly introduced the current schema to save electric energy mentioned quietly that mercury levels in Canadian fish are too high to allow unlimited safe eating of them. Anyone able to draw a connection between A and B might wonder then, how these new style bulbs can be safely disposed of.

As it happens, these bulbs are supposed to last up to seven times longer than the traditional light bulb, so those in power of our waste disposal are saying, "We have plenty of time to figure out a disposal strategy."

Just remember that the so called waste experts are currently to blame for the ban on eating Canadian fish more than twice a week because of mercury levels.

Maybe by 2012, there will be no more fish in Canadian waters, which should the suit the waste experts just fine, because then there woul no longer be mercury problem, as far as eating fish is concerned.
