I%26#039;ve seen that they have to be disposed of..and was concerned..just what is the trade off here? are they going to do more damage to our earth? and if they are not giving the right kind of light..I would go back to the reg light bulbs..a few more pennies in electricty to me would be better tnah screwing up our eatrth more..so what do you think are we really saving here or causing another problem?

• Neither oil nor CFLs are caustic. You might want to look up words before you use them.
