going once, going twice, going green!
Published Apr. 18, 2008
Protecting the environment, or "going green" is a topic that's gaining popularity and definitely on the minds of many.
From long-time environmentalists to the newly-conscious consumer, more and more people are looking for ways to "do their part."
So, tell us:
- What's the biggest lifestyle change you've made to help the environment?
- What stores do you think are the most "green friendly"?
- Would you ever be willing to ride the bus instead of driving to work if there were more convenient bus routes?
- Maybe you’d like to get involved, but don’t know where to start. If so, what are your questions?
Let's start a dialogue.

I agree Admiral. Disposal of mercury content there is often a charge for CFL's and long tubes. I found using natural light during the day, and blinds to block out the excess heat gain helps me avoid using the AC, even with a good amount of southern exposure.
More and more of the municipalities are gaining ridership due to the fuel costs. It's getting too expensive for people to drive. Diesel is at over 4.25 right now. Even if you can get 45mpg it has been climbing with no drop in sight. People are going to have to go away from the one person per car routine. If you live and work within routes, a monthly bus card is a tank of gas for a car.

People don't think about one bulb with mercury in it. Just like those who did not think about the medical equipment that had a trace amount of mercury in it until many of the dumps became EPA supersites.
They also don't consider that some epileptic seizures are triggered by these likes blinking at 60 hz.
And the ballasts emit X-Ray Radiation, causing some issues.
