Stock Up on Incandescent Light Bulbs: In Fact, Buy a Lifetime Supply of Them J. Speer-Williams Infowars.com
March 11, 2010 Our government's''Green Revolution'' is another covert attack on our collective health and environment, largely using their mythical global warming hoax to do so. A Compact Fluorescent Light bulb.
The new Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are a perfect example of this kind of subterfuge. While claiming these new CFL bulbs will reduce carbon emissions,''our'' Congress passed legislation stating these new light bulbs must completely replace our everyday incandescent light bulbs by 2014, without telling us of the serious dangers to health and environment, that these mandated bulbs pose. Most of these new CFLs will make people sick, by emitting radio frequency radiation that contributes to dirty electricity, that can cause migraines, dizziness, nausea, confusion, fatigue, skin irritations, and eye strain.
But far more importantly, CFLs are loaded with deadly mercury, one of the most toxic elements on Earth. In fact, all CFL bulbs contain - at least - four to five milligrams of mercury, about 200 times the amount of mercury in a flu vaccine shot.
There is enough mercury in each CFL bulb to contaminate 6,000 gallons of clean water. To break one of these CFL bulbs is to risk ruining the health of one's entire family, or office staff, with enough released atmospheric mercury to best require the expensive, professional services of a Haz/Mat Removal Team.
Believe not the''clean-up'' methods for broken CFL bulbs offered by those in the mainstream media, which tell us to open a window, then leave the area of the broken bulb for 15 minutes; then return with duct tape to pick-up the broken glass. Then what is one to do? Put the broken glass and duct tape into a glass jar and screw on a tight lid. What is one to do with the glass jar? Take it to a special toxic dump. Where are such dumps? Check your local listings.
All of the above, of course, is sheer nonsense. Want proof? Ask your dentist about the Haz/Mat teams that come into their offices to remove their old collection of dental amalgams, which dentists keep in little lead lined boxes.
All Americans will be well advised to practice a''mercury escape plan'' in the case of an accidental breakage of one of these CFL bulbs: Grab your cell phone, babies, dogs, cats, and parakeets (if they aren't already dead), and get well away from your house. Call a Haz/Mat company to completely clean your house before re-entering it.
Such are the serious dangers of mercury. And our environment? This is where mercury laden CFL bulbs do their most serious damage to everyone of us. This is the same environment that our hordes of''Greenies'' are so concerned about dying from global warming. But unknown to our greenie friends, already there are hundreds of millions of disposed CFL bulbs that have contaminated personal garbage cans, fleets of garbage trucks (spreading their toxicity near and far), and garbage disposal sites, that are doing irreparable damage to our ground water, except when such garbage is burnt; then, mercury is released into the very air we all breathe.
You see there are precious few toxic dump sites in the world equipped to handle mercury, the most dangerous element in the world, after radio-active materials. With over 100 million American households, and tens of millions of other lighted facilities, all over our country, and with each of them disposing of even just one CFL bulb a month ... can anyone imagine how much mercury will poison our disposal dumps, our ground water, our air, our lungs, and our entire bodies. If one did not know better, mercury is the perfect chemical/weapon for genocidal madmen: Mercury is in dental amalgams, vaccines, corn syrup light bulbs, and who knows what else.
Are our lawmakers simply without a shred of common horse sense, or are they driven by a sinister power, intent on not only destroying our environment, but our very lives. In any case, something inhuman drove our CFL horror, and is driving the''Green Revolution,'' and its off-shoots of global warming, and the entire climate change circus of death.

I knew this as well. I posted on your other thread too. It is awful that these contain mercury. If people do have them they need to be recycled and never thrown in the trash.
I don't think that most community recycling will even take them. People would have to check with their recycling companies to find out. If not there are places that do recycle them. I know that Home Depot will take your used CFL bulbs and recycle them. You can check to see of there are other stores in your community that will do the same.
If anyone is looking for an alternative to the CFL bulbs many are now making LED bulbs. Those are starting to come up in the industry and are supposed to be just as good as CFL bulbs but the LED bulbs DON'T have mercury in them. So it looks like those could be the future of green lighting because they have the same benefits without the hazardous material. As I said these are already being made so you could look into buying some of those instead. I think the technology is starting to get better for these as far as how the light looks. I haven't tried them yet myself.
Anyhow...just wanted to throw that out there as an option.
Anyone with CFL bulbs please be very careful with them and make sure to recycle them. I have a zip lock bag with some that I need to take to be recycled myself. I keep them in a zip lock bag just in case it does get dropped or something.
Take Care! Pam

Yeah, I know about this. It's really pathetic. You have to be very careful if you break one in your home or inside a building.
I'm not going to use them anymore. I can't believe they were telling people how "green" they are.
I think you can bring the burnt out ones to Home Depot for disposal.
Another thing is the home smoke alarms... They have radioactive material in them.

I guess what concerns me most (other than the fact that my husband broke one of these in our home) is that this is NOT common knowledge and it should be.
Most people don't have a clue that these things contain mercury so not only is their personal health in danger if they accidently break one, but they're also endangering the environment because they aren't aware that they aren't supposed to throw them in the trash. There is NOTHING on the box that states that they contain mercury, nor is there anything that states how they should be disposed of. That is an outrage!
I can't believe that these things are being mass produced and society is basically unaware of the dangers that they pose. Not to mention that 99% of these things are being produced over in China (I know, big surprise)and they've had a huge problem with their factory workers coming down with mercury poisoning.
Add that to the fact that they're being marketed as better for the environment and if you care about the earth you should replace all your regular bulbs with these - it's absolutely disgusting.
