Energy saver bulbs?  Those spirally fluorescent ones?  Yeah, so you're saving some energy but endangering everyone with mercury.  Cool.

[iago]

"endangering everybody with mercury" -- that's if you don't dispose of them properly.

[CrAz3D]

Do you call a hazmat team when they break, too?

[iago]

I haven't broken a lightbulb in my life (that wasn't intentional).

[MyndFyre]

iago, you're hurting our chances of survival.  You need to be releasing more greenhouse gases.

[iago]

pfft, that's an Australian news site. We all know that everything is the opposite there!

<edit> and also, it's not just the greenhouse gas emissions that the meat industry releases -- it also takes a hell of a lot more land than fruit/vegetables, and also the disposal of the waste. :P

My father, who's an analytical chemist, told me that the really only dangerous or toxic form of mercury was what fish digested. He told me the reason, I will try to get it exactly how he said..

He said that the mercury fish digest broke down a little, and bonded with a sulfate in the fishes stomach. He said that mercury sulfate has a low LD50, and that you don't only have to digest it to die, you can also inhale it.

He said other that that type of mercury, it's not too bad.

I dunno, MSNBC has an article that says one bulb can contaminate 6000 gallons of water.
