Yes – when mercury vapour light bulbs break, they turn your home into a hazardous waste site. Is this how we give our children what’s best for them? This nation’s policies have long ago sold out to the culture of death, thanks to the bureaucrats who craft them in allegiance to money, power and matters much more evil. The newest unmentionable hazard-in-waiting is electrosmog pollution from proliferating wireless transmitters in every hospital and publicly funded school (except Pretty River in Ontario), cell and data transmission towers. It is already fostering a new epidemic of illnesses.

Unfortunately, LED lights have serious problems too, as I reported last February: http://www.socon.ca/?p=12780

Researchers have found that LEDs contain potential to cause cancer and other health problems due to their high content of lead, arsenic and a dozen other potentially hazardous substances.

Stick with the incandescent bulb until a real solution comes around.

Here in the US the Green People pushed to have incandescent lightbulbs banned. So good jobs were lost in this country as these manufacturers went out of business. Ever notice how when the radicals want something different to save the planet, their suggestions are often worse or make little practical sense? It’s frustrating. Fortunately, LED bulbs which are far better at saving energy, and contain no mercury are slowly trickling into stores.
