So, to sum up, hide or disguise your burned out compact fluorescent light bulbs before discarding.

No problem. The federal government will print billions more to send out to states so they can start a new program to pick up the hippie light bulbs.
Of course, the $0.03 each homeowner saves in electricity each year will be gobbled up by the $500 in new taxes to fund the new recycling program. But hey! It’s for the children.

Those “eco bulbs” are loaded with mercury.

If you break one, be careful. Let a politician break one in his/her home and see what happens. I believe they are made in China also.

Excellent plan. Or put them in a (non-padded) box and mail them to John Dingell.

These "eco bulbs" last a fraction of the time you are used to having a large flourescent tube last. In fact, the eco bulbs don't last much longer than standard incandescent bulbs.

What do you think those Postal boxes on the street corner are for? Mail?

...furthermore, almost every large tube is housed in a ceiling mounted fixture. These bulbs are designed for use in lamps which are far more prone to being knocked over or falling.
To: sam_paine
Get over it!You like being told what to do, what to buy, how to use it, what you can do in your own home?
The point is not the bulb, its the direct invasion of you rights on a small scale that will only get bigger.
It's time to draw a line, even over a stupid light bulb.

Our utility company put a “program cost” right into our electric bills...a “free” lightbulb program. Free my.....

Snick. Or I suppose we could call our local Sierra Club affiliate and demand that they drive over and pick them up.
