Books sat on the shelf of how to garden, how to raise small animals, how to live off the land…but our lives seemed to show no sign of changing anytime soon to allow for more than a few container plants here and there. I needed a vision, an example, to push my mind out of the box I had it in; the box that said sustainable living could only happen only in wide, open spaces.

Something else to save up for! I recently read that LED lights, though much more expensive, avoid the mercury problem, use even less electricity, and last a lot longer than flourescents.

But I've known about it for awhile and read some stuff and basically I've decided this *so far*: -we've never had to replace a compact florescent bulb because it burned out. We've never had one break because they are handled so infrequently, and also seem more durable (less breakable) than incandescent bulbs. -the mercury they produce, while being more acute if it's released in your home, is still less than the mercury that is produced in the making of incandescent bulbs. -just because the carbon emissions and mercury production is far away from us, doesn't mean we aren't suffering from the effects that are accumulating and affecting us closer and closer every day. Not changing our behavior (or lightbulbs LOL) because the alternative requires careful handling is not enough reason imo to continue on with known pollution. -lots of good things in our lives require careful handling. We don't run cars in closed garages. We're careful with matches, grills, and fireworks. Mercury is in glass thermometers, and we stuck those in our kids mouths and butts for years.

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 20:54:07 +0000 http://www.sixredheads.com/2007/06/10/730/#comment-18860 About compact fluorescent light bulbs... We made the switch years ago (for the most part). Now I find out that they contain Mercury and should be disposed of as you would "any household hazardous waste". If one breaks you are supposed to open the windows for ventilation (that's right, mercury vapor would now be in your home) and sweep any fragments into a plastic bag that can be sealed. You should NEVER touch the pieces. Then use a rag to wash the area where the fragments were. Put the rag in the plastic bag with the broken bulb. You can read about it here... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7431198 and here http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268747,00.html About compact fluorescent light bulbs…
