Hello my fellow friends I just learned of a new blog yesterday from my friend Meg. Have you ever heard of Perez Hilton? This blog is hilarious is speaks of all the the Hollywood "kids" and the smart things they do. Yet, if you are not into that kind of thing I have something else for you.
Do you recycle, have you changed your light bulbs to the new energy efficient light bulbs, do you have a compost pile (cats like to poop in compost, ants like to crawl in compost, I am just waiting for the buzzards but I do not think buzzards eat fruit and grass maybe the vegetarian buzzards will come)? I do all of the above yet do not praise me and I am not asking for praise because I am still a wasteful person. I am just trying to make a point before I disclose the following: the energy efficient light bulbs have mercury in them, which is hazardous. So which is better the energy saving or the mercury in the earth? Do only certain energy light bulbs have the mercury? I am asking because I do not know, I am new to this "Green" ideology that is sweeping America. I am sure my cousin Anna knows the answer....therefore Anna I am asking you to enlighten us because I am sure there is an answer: is there an energy efficient light bulb that does not have mercury in it and is safe to recycle or dispose of?
by the way here is where I go my info:

Yes, CFL's have mercury in them, but so do regular flurescent lights and batteries, yet no one seems to be scared of them. The mercury in a CFL can fit on the tip of a pen. Think about the thermometers we grew up with, there was alot more mercury in those.
I am sure in 10 years something better in lighting will come out and we will shun the CFL's for the bad mercury. As of today, they are efficient and the good outweighs the bad, so please use them.
Bern, you are one of the greenest people I know, and I appreciate the questions you raise because you don't go blindly into choices. You want to make sure it is right.
If people are scared of the mercury in CFL's then they probably need to stay away from all flor. lighting, batteries, and you might as well stay away from bleach because it's harmful too, and gasoline, that's harmful if injested, you may want to turn off all your electricity because you could get electricuted...

Bern...I can't believe you didn't know about Perez...I visit his blog at least once a day. I bet he doesn't email everyone after his site has been updated!
LOVE THE TOPIC! I FEEL AS IF I REALLY LEARNED SOMETHING! ALSO, WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?
