[Eco] Can compact fluorescents hurt you?

[Luisa Fernanda Robles]

Thanks for the info Maria,

I had heard the compact fluorescent contained some mercury, but indeed by using compact fluorescent, they really offset the overall mercury release to the environment.

For those of us who live near the grocery store MOM, they will take your used compact fluorescent as well as batteries!
