So it turns out that the mercury in those new-fangled lightbulbs is causing major health problems for the workers producing them.

I already knew that there were disposal issues with the bulbs because of the mercury content, but now there's an extra ethical dimension to it. I'm not sure which outweighs the other, or if I can even think of it in those terms.

Oh, and has mangafairy worked up the nerve to friend you yet? (It's Katie, and suddenly she's being shy ;) ).
