This article raises some good points. I have only started to grapple with the implications of having CF bulbs in our home. I have to think that the average american is going to toss burnt out CF bulbs in the trash rather than disposing of them properly (if you don’t believe me ask yourself where you throw your alkaline batteries). The batteries in hybrid cars aren’t exactly good for the environment either. Does it make sense to put dangerous materials in the general public’s hands or keep them in the big factories? The latter is easier to regulate but the former allows people to give up very little while significantly reducing their energy footprint.

(Right now its all for fun, but we might change that to a for profit that gives back to the community.)
