Walmart Continues to Avoid Neurotoxins


There are a couple different hues with the Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (hereafter CFLs). I've taken to the more traditional light bulb hue when purchasing CFLs, and I enjoy how they gradually "warm" a room from the time they are first turned on to about a minute later.

Two-to-four milligrams of mercury is required in each CFL bulb. And this author credits Walmart with reducing it to 2 milligrams. After sucking in the smog for a month in Ulaan Bataar, I tend to side with spreading this kind of technology. The smog coupled with the secondhand smoke induced a nasty sinus infection that I'm just getting over, but I've found a bit of relief in verbally abusing the Mormon Church.
