Being Duped into believing your "GREEN".

Hello Everyone.

It seems that the more people i speak to on a daily basis seem to think they are doing a "GOOD" thing by using CFL's aka Compact Fluorescents. This is an issue because they are being told that by using them they are doing the "GREEN" thing and conserving energy. THEY ARE using less energy but they are also NOT being told how to PROPERLY dispose of these "CFL's". Their are locations like Home Depot and Lowes that will recycle these at no cost to you if you simply bring them your burned out CFL's. BUT HERE IS THE ISSUE......the overwhelming numbers of the CFL's being used are never properly disposed of creating a large amount of MERCURY ADDITIONS to our landfills and ultimately our creeeks, Rivers, and Streams.

This additional Mercury could be one of the reasons why the SHARK in the oceans and Gulfs are not to be eaten. The Shark harbors the Mercury in their muscle tissue and it doesnt escape. This creates an issue to hundreds of thousands of people who live in the coastal communities that eat fish caught near the coast lines. Why is it that we just "ACCEPT" the federal governments warnings to only eat fish "a couple time a month" due to the mercury levels in most fish? Why is it that we allow the Lighting Companies use Poison to light their lamps and parking lots and streetlights with lights that they do not recycle in most cases? MERCURY IS POISONOUS!!!!! Its known and its the reason why CFL's have lost lots of customers. NOW the CFL manufacturers are adding a SILICONE coating to try and ensure you that the poison wont fill your rooms up with mercury if they explode or get broken.... Yet the installation instructions say to be careful adding them into childrens rooms. Any Guess' why? Its simple..... Its a way to make their product less likely to be sued for Mercury Poisoning if it happens because they "warned you". After all is said and done, Dont take MY WORD FOR IT... Go and Google it, or Mercury Poisoning, or Links to Autism. Its just amazing that we accept so many harmful things into OUR HOUSE and our Offices without thinking...

We recycle some things and we consider ourselves "GREEN"... When in truth we are adding more poison to our landfills daily than we ever would in recycling aluminum. Please do us all a favor and do these for starters

1. Start Recycling Plastic, aluminum, and your Fluorescent and CFL tubes.
2. Use LED lighting as much as possible to save over 50% more than by using CFL's while getting 4 times the amount of lighting time
3. Remember to tell others about the dangers of their lighting choices.
4. Remember Deep Green Lighting when you purchase your TRUELY GREEN LED LIGHTS.

Thanks.
