On April 25, the Government of Canada declared a country-wide ban on the sale of inefficient light bulbs by 2012, partly due to the rapid adoption rate of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). I am all for energy efficiency and the environment, and I'm glad that SOMEONE is making some regulations on this stuff, but one question. What are we going to do with all the Mercury? There are trace amounts of Mercury in each CFL, nothing to fret about. However, replace all incandescent bulbs with CFLs, and then your trace amounts of Mercury become large amounts of Mercury that no one knows what to do with. Now we may have a problem. Anyone offer CFL recycling?
