Pop some organic bubbly because we’re having our very first contest here at the Worsted Witch. Our mini family unit resolves to continue to pare down our consumption (and subsequent stress on environmental resources), cut down our waste production, as well as finally change those lingering two incandescent bulbs in our apartment to compact fluorescents (oy, it’s about time). [...] [...] HELLLOOOOO 2007! Pop some organic bubbly because we’re having our very first contest here at the Worsted Witch.

So far, we’ve replaced just about every bulb in our apartment, except for the bathroom and hallway, which require smaller-fitting bulbs we’ll have to hunt for. Oh, some genius also painted over the light fixture in the office/guest room so we can forget about that one. (We have a CFL in the lamp in there instead.) If you’re in the area, check them out. CFLs can cost upwards of $7, so this is the place to stock up less expensively.

I wonder how many people think they are doing wonderful things for the environment by switching to cf's and then throw them in the trash and contribute to the contamination of groundwater, etc. I wish there wasn't a tradeoff.
