CFL Bulb Guide for Less Mercury in Our Homes
The Environmental Working Group has done it again. Have a mentioned lately how much I appreciate them?
They’ve just released a report and new guide for all of us about what CFL bulbs contain the least mercury. Let me back up.
Awhile back I posted on my blog Non-Toxic Kids about the mercury in those energy efficient CFL bulbs, what to do if you break one, and another post about where to recycle them.
We know that CFL bulbs save gobs of valuable energy and are the most responsible, greenest choice. But no one wants mercury, what we all avoid eating fish for (especially when pregnant), all over our house. So the folks at EWG have created a guide to the bulbs with the lowest amount of mercury in each, and a handy list of steps to follow if you do break a bulb.
