Hi,

I remember those documentaries. Did you know that Suzuki's light bulb is obsolete? Compact fluorescents have been superseded by newer LED light bulbs that last ten times longer and use only four watts to generate the light of a hundred watt tungsten bulb.

Maybe he's thinking small steps?
Better to get people on the right track and mindset first
So flourescents are easier to convince people to buy.
The cost of one of these (LED) babies isn't exactly cheap.

GREAT site above btw
Around 4 packs of cigarettes, about the same as a pair of no name running shoes at your local retail store.

The sooner they replace compact florescent bulbs the better. They are full of mercury.

I just heard about that today on a walk with some friends.
Didn't know that, but that's assuming they break.
