Re: Should all countries ban the incandescent light bulb? Here's one for all you tree huggers out there..... Hg content rising in public landfills.
Consumer fluorescent bulbs are not under any disposal regulations. Chuck 'em in the weekly garbage pickup. That's all you gotta do. So lets go ahead and replace all the incandescent bulbs out there because that is the current political wind. 20 mg Hg per bulb adds up folks. A few grams leeched in to the water table and kiss that water (and your neuro system) goodbye. |
