Hi,
California, other states, and the US gov are encouraging people to switch from our old incandescent light bulgs to fluorescent light bulbs because they save tons of electricty if everyone switches and because they can help save us all from global warming.

Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, talks about this and he and Tipper have them in their house.

I'm all for saving the planet and all but couldn't I sign up for something else??
I don't want to change my lightbulbs.

Fluorescent light bulbs interfere with my body chemistry. And I think that they effect other people who are sensitive. I keep my lights off in my office at work because of the fluorescent lights. When people ask me why I am sitting in the dark, I say because it is quieter this way. I wonder what I mean by that. I think that my brain is calmer with out the fluorescent energy in the room.

Yuck. I really hope that this does not become law. Maybe a scientist out there can convince me that the new bulbs on the market are "safer" than the old bulbs in my old office building.

Anyone here already have them in their apts/houses?
M.
