The Danger of CFL Bulbs

CFL bulbs contain mercury and when broken in your home, pose a danger. Albeit the amount per bulb is small, but sensitivity and vulnerability is unique to each person. If the bulbs are to be disposed of at a recycling facility (or box at Home Depot or Lowe's), how safe can it be? Loaded into landfills, they do pose a problem to soil and water, and our planet. 
If broken in an infant's room, the baby is unnecessarily exposed to mercury at a very early and vulnerable age. 
Using full-spectrum incandescent bulbs is the best way to light your home and business, keep yourself healthy and balanced. Full-spectrum lighting supports healthy hormone balance, improves vision, learning AND is proven to reduce dental cavities!  Used in schools and workplaces, extensive research has shown improved health, less absenteeism, increased productivity and mental alertness, and improved test scores. Soft-white fluorescent bulbs have proven to contribute to anxiety, depression, hyper-activity, and other stress-related difficulties.  Try full-spectrum incandescent bulbs in your family room and bedroom - you will 'see' and 'feel' the difference!  They are warm, easy on the eye and comforting. Full-spectrum incandescent, not CFLs - a CFL is a CFL - contains mercury.  Keep those incandescent bulbs in your home.  They last for years. Order online - it's worthwhile. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=are-compact-fluorescent-lightbulbs-dangerous
