The amount of mercury in these lamps is miniscule, but yes there are millions of them going into landfill. This is not how mercury passes into the environment or the food chain however, so don't fret about it.Virtually all unnatural concentrations of environmental mercury are the result of industrial processes such as coal burning and scrap smelting, which vaporize mercury and disperse it into the atmosphere via the smokestack. Lightbulbs in landfill don't do this. Get over it.

If you religiously believe in the GW cause, it is your religious duty to at least give 10% of Your money to the cause. I hear crickets.

a species that elects a war monger over a man who had in him the potential to win a noble prize, does indeed possess, what it takes to destroy a beautiful planet.

icecreamdose... has anyone ever taught you the difference between CLIMATE and WEATHER??? Global warming doesn't mean that there won't be seasons! It's the year-to-year climate averages that matter. Man you need to start reading some science...
