Brad Savage of the Corner interviews Teri Kent of Better World Betty and Bruce Edmonds of the McIntire Recycling Center every other Friday on matters of sustainability and how people can do their part to go green. On the June 19, 2009 edition: Betty and Bruce tell us how much money can be saved by switching to compact flourescent light bulbs.
Also, comments about the announcement this week that Dominion Power is installing a “smart grid” in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
We’re pretty cheesed-off here in the UK about these bulbs because the old incandescent ones have been banned but these new fluoruescent ones have merury in them, I understand, which is toxic, so recycling is a nightmare! It’s ridiculuous!
