Energy saving light bulbs (not so great!)
You know we all read about and hear about how great these new lightbulbs are and how they save lots of energy and save you lots of money. Well, I did a little research on these and I found out that yes, they do save you energy, but they are just like thermometers, batteries, and other such things. They all have mercury in them. And they have to be disposed of in a certain way. This all costs money, so to me, in the long run, those light bulbs – you might get an extra year out of, and you might save some energy, but if you dispose of them legally they might cost you money, so the next time you buy an energy saving light bulb, think twice about it!
