Here is the <a href="http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/index.htm#flourescent" rel="nofollow">EPA's website dedicated to what to do if your CFL breaks</a>. Mercury spills do not "environmentally friendly" make, despite the noise coming from the left (which is so driven by the global warming scare as to ignore real environmental issues). Sad to me that they brainwash the kids with this in schools, but that's what we get, I suppose. JDG Rep Nathan,

I hate to argue with an 8th grader, but the CFLs have turned out to be actually less green than the old bulbs. Here is the EPA’s website dedicated to what to do if your CFL breaks.

Mercury spills do not “environmentally friendly” make, despite the noise coming from the left (which is so driven by the global warming scare as to ignore real environmental issues). Sad to me that they brainwash the kids with this in schools, but that’s what we get, I suppose.
