Broken CFL

Things you should know about "CFL" energy saving light bulbs


CFL's, or compact flourescent lamps, contain poisonous mercury and phosphorous and are therefore quite dangerous when they break!

See relevant information about these light bulbs under our heading ESJG current and copy and sign our petition to the Federal and Queensland governments, and to the Brisbane City Council to ensure that positive measures undertaken to protect our environment, are implemented without endangering our health!
