At issue also was how to safely dispose of the burned-out bulbs. You're the expert -- any thoughts? Hey AfroM,

Not to rain on your parade about CFLs but I just watched a piece on CNBC’s Squawk Box and they were discussing the safety of CFL light bulbs since “they contain mercury” — which is, of course, dangerous. At issue also was how to safely dispose of the burned-out bulbs.

You’re the expert — any thoughts?

I think I've seen some of those CFLs on sale there. This could be perfect for those in rural areas who are already relying on solar panels (and there are many users out there!). Yani, go to any errectricoorrs shop in shaggz and ask them for those energy saving bulbs....only until someone starts selling them, others will join in. @Nakumatt?

As for the incentive, for those of us that are tvphobes, what's in it for us (not that I'm in Kenya, so this doesn't apply anyway!)? :) That’s an encouraging poster.
