Tell your state lawmakers: Phase out inefficient light bulbs that contain toxic mercury

Fluorescent light bulbs contain toxic mercury and are incredibly inefficient compared to newer alternatives. LED light bulbs -- readily available as replacements for fluorescents in all needed shapes and sizes -- do not contain any mercury and cut energy use in half compared to fluorescents.

It's time to say farewell to fluorescent bulbs. Send a message to your state legislators urging them to support this sensible step to protect public health and reduce energy waste.
