It was just brought to our attention that WUSA 9 News, a local news station for the Washington DC area, posted a very good article about the correct way to dispose of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Follow this link. It's a quick read.
Also, at the bottom of the article, WUSA posted a video of Dan Margulies, the husband of NECA's own Beth Margulies, demonstrating in a very creative way the difference in energy consumption between incandescent bulbs and CFLs. It's a short but interesting video. Give it a watch.
