The glass jar was said to be preferable, however in the absence of one, the next proposed method was a double plastic baggie... Granted, at this point I’m basing this on the speech given before Congress linked earlier in this thread. Rep. Roe introduced these EPA guidelines into the Congressional Record as well. I’d have to go look it up on the EPA site for confirmation, although I can’t imagine for him to have made it up as he was trying to prove that this law was ridiculous, and it could be easily disproven if he were lying.
I’ll have to do this at a later time because as I just said in a previous post, I’m getting quite tired, and my brain just isn’t working like it should as a result! :)
BTW: I reproduced the precautions you put up from the State of Maine on this thread - just so everyone could be better informed. So, thanks for linking it here.
OK, here is the link to the EPA guidelines at this time... (It was pretty easy to find after all.. :) )

my eyes are closing too - and my cat is starring at me - her signal that it's way past bed time...
In the meantime, I continue to stock up on safe bulbs. After 2012, the deadline it will be legal to use them, I will be the little old lady, shades drawn, burning contraband bulbs
