I receive an E-Newsletter from a company AirCycle Corp. They manufacture
device that destroy CFL bulbs and reduce the toxins that are associated
them.

We have been encouraged to use CFL bulbs to save energy which reduces
pollution from the reduced production of power that it would take to feed
that same amount of light of incandescent bulbs.  However, the mercury
contained within is an environmental threat.  I felt incomplete when there
was no way to dispose of burnt out bulbs until Lowe's starting taking them
locally.  However, how should we clean up the inevitable breakage in the
home.

describes the EPA's answer to that.  
 
My wife has picked up on this threat and has insisted we return to the
inefficient incandescent.  
 
Thoughts are appreciated on the response to the threat of broken cfl bulbs.

 
Are LED lights ready to replace the common side lamps?
