I just got mine today! (August 1, 2007) It's a Sylvania Soft White. 13 watt (60 watt replacement). On the top there is a green sticker that says "Yahoo! Be a better planet, thanks for helping to make a better planet!"

I took a picture for proof!

Soda companies deliberately make CO2 in mass quantities every single day. Every time we open a soda, the CO2 is released into the atmosphere. Is soda really worth killing the planet over. Seems to me, the spread of sodas to other countries has helped in the acceleration of globel warming. It's not the only cause, but it is a major contributor that seems to be overlooked.

To turn your lights off and on when you need to use them. Or just have them on all throughout.

*they say that it takes a great amount of electricity just to initially turn on the light

Arguments against global warming here are most often just philosophy. "Man is too weak to affect the climate." "It has to be the Sun." "Volcanoes are powerful." "Scientists are lying to get money." "Politicians are lying to get money."

But science is about data. Scientists have seen much stranger things than global warming proved, because the data said so. Like quantum mechanics and relativity.

The data backing (mostly) man made global warming has been measured independently by thousands of scientists all over the world. Saying its all a conspiracy is nuts.

Theories that it's natural are not accepted in the scientific community because they don't match the observed data. Theories that it's mostly man made greenhouse gases are accepted because they do match the data. The key word below is "quantitative"

"Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Okay, so I confess my question may sound bold but so many deniers in this section seems to think that everyone believing in Global warming but not transforming into cavemen/women are hypocrites?

Makes me wonder if this is the reason they continue to deny global warming? They don't want to go back to the caves and would consider them selves hypocrites otherwise?

Isn't the slightest step in the right direction towards less emissions better than none?

What do you think?

My mom wanted to do her part and go green and save on electricity by putting some flourescent bulbs in. However, when looking at the package closely, she noticed that mercury is contained in the bulbs. She thinks that few people will dispose of them properly, and our landfills will just be contaminated with mercury.

What are your thoughts on this? I realize that this has been the case with florescent "tube" bulbs for years also.
