Reply #9: Wal Mart is readying a recycle plan [View All]

and new bulbs will use less mercury.

Important to know: Using one of these bulbs for its lifetime means you
will avoid the burning of coal that would add as much as 13 mg of mercury to
the environment, vs 1 to 3 mg contained in the bulb.
By the time the bulb is failing, recycle programs will be well
underway.

btw, the next gen light bulbs will be LED, even
more efficient, and, to my knowledge, contain no
toxics.
