- thegrantman, on 08/06/2008, -1/+16I shut off the heat to save oil.Then I used candles to save electricity.I turned off the water heater and shower only once a week.I talk to my many plants instead of using precious electricity to watch television.I don't go anywhere unless it's on my bike to save gas.And now I can save even more because my girlfriend moved out.

It's not enough to warrant a HazMat team, but just try not to break them, and see what services are around for proper disposal if one does pop. - Acidrain77, on 08/06/2008, -0/+8mirror plz

I rent in SoCal and am making out like a bandit compared to people who have bought here in the past 8 years. The ticket to avoiding the poor house is learning to live BELOW your means, not merely avoiding living above them.
- diggduggDOOM, on 08/06/2008, -1/+5You mean you don't pocket-mulch?
- Dachublez, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4Except that modern landfills have a barrier between the trash and the soil beneath so even though they may end up in landfills large amounts of mercury wont be showing up in your water any time soon. However I see were your coming from. The power/fuel something uses is only part of the total footprint of the object in question. You have to factor in all the energy/pollution used/created by the production and disposal/recycle process. Which is why a new Land rover is greener than a Prius All those batteries being produced and transported etc..

- krnldmp, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4If its already broken you may as well just throw it away. The mercury vapor is already in the air. Best thing to do is open a bunch of windows an leave for a while.
The mercury content is still a fraction of what is used in the 4 and 8 foot fluorescent tubes. - JaredXM, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3If I had the money I would.
- pnrl, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3The site is sending code gzip-compressed, but isn't warning browser about it (there's no Content-Encoding HTTP header), so it will look like garbage in properly behaving browsers. You need to dangerously misinterpret content to read it, so it basically relies on security vulnerability in IE.

- DyceFreak, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Whats the average length of life underwater?
- geauxtig3rs, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2For me, renting makes more sense right now...I'm not going to be living where i am living for more than a year, and on top of the moving into a house from an apartment, there are many other expenses that come with a house, as well as more headache.
You need to buy yard tools to maintain your lawn, then pay for the gas or electricity to run them. You may have to commute several miles per day, when in my apartment, i can walk to work. I don't have to worry about property taxes, home repair bills, trash pickup bill, water bill. I have rent, insurance, and electricity. I can't find a house that by itself wouldnt cost more than the total of my rent and bills each month. That compounded with the fact that I won't be living here long enough to gain any equity on my house would be like "troweling cash into a flushing toilet every four weeks."
I would like to buy, but it isn't feasible for me at this point.....but thanks for the sweeping generalizations anyway. - TVarmy, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Not too much to worry about. I believe the procedure is to leave the room for 15 minutes to clear the air, wipe up the pieces with a piece of paper into a plastic bag, seal it, then seal that inside a plastic bag, and drop it off at a hazardous waste center. If you're really scared, get the type with the plastic dome over the top, which gives you a layer of insurance if you drop one. More than I'd like to do, but not that big a deal. Moral of the story: Just be careful, maybe lay down a pillow under the fixture if you're working high up.
Even so, they prevent more mercury from being released from coal. Plus, they contain only 1/200th the mercury in one tooth filling. - krnldmp, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Just the part about the candles.
