See Ya CFLs:

Recycle used CFLs at your local Home Depot, IKEA or check Earth911.org for drop-off locations in your zip code. If your state permits you to put used or broken CFLs in the garbage, seal the bulb in two plastic bags and put it in the outside trash. Don't incinerate, as CFLs contain a small amount of toxic mercury, an average of about 5 milligrams, which would get released into the air.

Why It's Good:

Nothing against the reign of mega booksellers gone web, but where else online are you going to find rare mystery collectibles like a first print of The Maltese Falcon still in its original dust jacket. Borders.com? We think not.

Why It's Green:

Biblio.com is considered eco-friendly since, through the website, 50 million used, rare, and out-of-print books are kept on the marketplace and out of the nation’s landfills. The company also uses ecosend, a carbon neutral shipping program that offsets the emissions released during the delivery process. Ecosend operates in partnership with NativeEnergy, a Native American energy company that helps build renewable energy projects throughout their communities.
