Well, either if you break it or when it finally goes out. Who knows how to dispose of mercury correctly?

So I started buying these 7 year Energy Star lightbulbs too. Not the compact fluorescence twirly ones, but these:
Is there mercury in those too. Ugh.
But you know, we have thermometers in the house that have mercury in them (yes, we never buy new ones), and we stick that shit in our mouths. A light bulb doesn't seem to be TOO harmful, I guess.
Apart from that, I use shit over and over and over again. Water bottles, for example. When I could be using and ditching 7 bottles a week at the office (to refill), I use one bottle per week and just keep refilling it.
I also use plates instead of this paper shit. I mean, I don't know if that is CURRENTLY the good thing to do? But it makes more sense to me - wash, don't toss.
Jam it back in, in the dark.

I poked it and it made a sad sound
