How's that for being "green"?
Dumping mercury and a couple other deadly toxins directly into the
ground.
Just another scam perpetrated in the name of the environment that is
in reality just a quick grab for cash and is worse for the environment
than the coal being used to power the old fashioned incandescents.
One more in a growing line of "AlGorisms".
Fluorescent is a great way to go ... however, the old fluorescent were
much more green ... first of all, you didn't replace (throw away) the
ballast every time you changed the bulb.
Should just have an adapter containing the ballast and just replace the
SHO fluorescent "curly Q" tube, tons of ballasts filling land fills is
completely senseless!
