It's not easy being green...
I have this little problem that REALLY keeps nagging at me... I SOOOO want to be "green" in as many ways as I can... I KNOW I'm among the very few in my city who drove 30 miles to the NEXT city just to see "An Inconvenient Truth" last summer, and probably the ONLY ONE of that bunch who DIDN'T vote for either Gore or Bush, lol (can anybody say NADER?) happy

BUT, I don't buy or use those flourescent bulbs that screw into incancescent fixtures for thesame reason not many organic LEDs are available yet -- the light isn't "comfortable" for me. In fact, since GE came out with its "Reveal" bulbs (and now Phillips has followed with some similar bulbs that are less expensive), I don't even buy regular incandescents. I like light with a cool tone to it, and DEFINITELY feel, ummmm, depressed??? by lights with a yellow-green tinge to them like those flourscents have.

If they come out with flourescent replacement bulbs that have a higher color temperature closer to what the "Reveal"-type bulbs have, I'll go with 'em... Until then, I'm sticking with my truer, bluer bulbs, and using them as little as I have to... and trying not to think about it too much, lol.
