Environment vs human impact

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.

I'm just waiting to scrape together enough cash to replace my incandescents with LED lights instead. Nice thing about living on 12VDC is that I've already got a lot of LED lights to choose from.
