Hi Gang . . . I just wanted to wish you a Happy Earth Day. You don't have to be a tree hugger to appreciate the beauty of our natural surroundings and to desire a clean, unpolluted environment. Plus, some green initiatives actually help you save money. For example, try using the compact fluorescent light bulbs. Based on a national average, they can save you $50 on energy bills and $20 more by not having to replace incandescent bulbs. I use them in my home!
I thought I would share a link to my blog posting that I wrote for work today, too. Please visit the link, and hope you had a great Earth Day (now, get a hair cut, hippy!).

As someone who sells light bulbs for a living, I am less enthusiastic than most about compact fluorescent bulbs. This is due to the fact that the ones currently available contain significant amounts of mercury. If one of these bulbs should break inside of a person’s home, it could cause a challenging disposal situation. It is my belief that the technology should progress to a point at which the mercury levels are low or nonexistent before people changeover their entire homes. Another consideration is that as these bulbs burn out, they will most likely be thrown away as though they are normal rubbish and landfills will have incredibly high levels of mercury in their soil as a result.
