A coworker of mine bought the new-fangled lightbulbs to help the environment and freaked out when she read the warnings about how to properly dispose them and how to take care of them if they broke. She has two children and was really concerned first about the environment, then about her children if they broke a lightbulb by accident. Needless to say, she removed them all and bought normal lightbulbs. Apparently concerns about mercury poisoning her children overrode whatever energy might be saved….
