Perhaps we shouldn't call foods 'healthy' since almost processed food has some level of chemicals that are not good for you?
And lets not allow any merchant to advertise 'low costs' since really it is just 'less high cost'
As for CFLs, I wasn't aware they were not produced anywhere outside of China. Thanks for the info.
As for mercury, 100% of CFLs contain mercury. And they contain less mercury than is emited and pumped into the enviornment by coal plants just to produce the difference in energy needed to power the incandescants over cfls.
Yes, it is important that people understand virually all products have an environmental impact. But I don't see the need to label things 'less bad' instead of 'good'. Nor why you would hold environmental products to that requirement when you don't require it of other products.
