Is Going "Green" Actually Saving The Environment?

Tweet

The going green craze is sweeping across the nation. However, is the so-called energy saving products and green products actually saving the environment? My biggest case against so-called green products is the energy saving light bulbs. Each energy saving light bulb contains about 5mg of Mercury. That may not seem a lot but if you consider how many light bulbs are actually used, the number of Mercury seeping into the ground and water supply is staggering. Furthermore, if you break that light bulb, you are being exposed to this hazardous material. Furthermore, most aren't aware that these light bulbs need to be disposed of at hazardous waste disposals and not simply thrown away. Sure they save you energy, but at what environmental cost? You can go directly to the GE website for more information. They aren't hiding this fact.
