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:

Donate money to send livestock to people all over the world—from Peru to Poland—who are struggling to feed themselves. Your share of a goat ($10), water buffalo ($25), heifer ($50) and other animals can not only help families feed themselves (goat's milk) but can jumpstart an entire village's economy (goats breed quickly, so voila—you soon have a dairy).

Why It's Green:

Recipients of gifts are taught how to produce livestock and farm sustainably.
