Below is a URL which will take some time to open. It's a 5 min clip from a congressman addressing congress regarding the new Light Bulb law. It's crazy but true. Got to wonder what this world is coming too.
Just a note. I found the following quote on a CFL recycling site. "Even though CFL (Compact Florescent Lights) are more energy efficient and last considerably longer than traditional incandescent lights, it's VERY IMPORTANT that they are disposed of properly after they have been used. CFLs contain approximately 5 mg. of mercury. This chemical is contained within the bulb and poses no health risk, but once discarded, broken bulbs have the potential to leak. 5mg of mercury is enough to pollute 4000 gallons of water!"

What method or source do you have to prove 5mg of mercury can pollute 4000 gallons of water?
