Our children are being brainwashed in schools and more effectively in the "entertainment" industry to buy into all the Armageddon scenarios. They have as pessimistic attitude toward earth as Paul Ehrlich and his fellow scientists had in 1970 -- except none of their brilliant, well-informed, scientifically consensused predictions came to pass. Don't ya hate it when facts interfere with a good theory.

I also kinda figured you or one of you ilk would have a list of local recycling centers, likely with other emergency numbers next to the phone.

Just wondering -- since most of TV is in Sumter Co., our recycling center is 20 miles away. What do you think the "carbon footprint" of driving that 40 mile trip to dispose of a broken light bulb is?

The cynicism....

for one or two lightbulbs yes.
It isn't just the green effect, it is saving my hard earned $$$. How about collecting in your neighborhood and once every month or 2 when someone is going in that direction.... Naw just throw it in a landfill.

Muncie How many decades ago were you in a school to know firsthand what is taught? What are your sources?
