There is an orginization doing the same thing type of thing here in New Jersey. If I could find the bulb they left on my door I will post their name.
The first time I just found a bulb on my door but about a week ago they came a second time and this time I confronted the guy.
He had no good answers for anything I threw at him. The conversation went something like this:
Me: No thank-you. You know them bulbs have mercury in them.
Greeenie: So does your watch. (I wasn’t wearing one but..)
Me: Yea but with this push to have everyone use these bulbs there will be billions upon billions of them in the trash. The government now is even mandating we use these bulbs.
Greenie: No there not. Besides you are supposed to bring them to the Home Depot, they do the proper recycling.
Me: People are not going to collect them and drive them to Home Depot. Besides wouldn’t they be killing the earth by driving anyway? What if they break in your car? They are extremely dangerous that way. And yes the government is outlawing the edison lightbulb in 2012.
Greenie: Soon they are going to have a special pickup for these bulbs. (Also admits that he is being paid by tax dollars to hand these out)
Me: So more taxes to pay for pickup? Besides these bulbs do not give off a full spectrum of light. They are no good. Plus you are still going to have billions of these bulbs polluting the earth. Why are you working to kill the earth?
Greenie gets frustrated and leaves.
The entire green movement is a massive scam.
Probably Met Ed or Jersey Central Power and Light; BOTH are First Energy subsidiaries.
The name of the company in NJ was something like “lime light” they were in my area on holloween, they gave you a tshirt if you signed some petition they had but I blew the guy off.
Of course it is.
But by now it has so much momentum that it's going to be difficult to stop. These politicians know global climate change is a scam, but they hesitate to reverse themselves so that they won't look like the assholes they really are.
