Bring back the Incandescent light bulb

Created by M.D. on January 28, 2013

The Compact Flouressant Light (CFL) contains dangerous mercury, Lead and phosphors that are a danger to human health.

These bulbs should be deemed Dangerous as they are under the United Nations Mercury reduction law that the U.S is a signatory to.

Old Fashioned Incandescent Light bulbs have no Mercury, nor do they emitt dangerous Ultraviolet energy. They don't require HAZMAT cleanup procedures if one breaks!

Repeal the ban on incandescent light bulbs. Let the market decide what they want in their home.
