Move far, far away. :)
I just read something that suggested that the mercury toxicity from a
broken bulb is no different than eating a tuna fish sandwich. And my
thinking was that that was actually TWO reasons for never using a CFL.
Rather than saying
"oh, I broke a CFL, so I guess I should skip that tuna sandwich
I was gonna eat and then I'll be the same"
I think the message should be
"If enough of us stop using CFLs maybe some day that will make
tuna less toxic."
