Most people never knew that regular Flourescents have a similiar issue.

So recylce them PROPERLY whern they do burn out.

But if you use the with some care they will save a lot of energy. If nothing else in the fact that they tend to last MUCH longer than a regular incandescent bulb, therefore requiring far fewer changes.

Now for my mini Soap Box, I love polititians (sic).

CA is / was discussing making CFs mandatory, outlawing regular incandescents. The Polititian proposing this was confronted with the Mercury issue, and I believe that same article. His reaction, OH we'll worry about a recycling program later. Never worry about today what you can put off until tomorrow.
