I heard about this mandate a while ago. My parents have been using those bulbs for quite a few years now and while they're initially expensive, they generally last a long time. They have some that have been working steadily for two or more years!
I've become more of a greeny after moving to where I currently live. I live in an area that is environmentally unappealing to me. It's flat and full of strip malls, no one recycles and if they do, it's very limited, the public transportation system is terrible and ineffective at best, and there aren't many sidewalks here. Oh, and have I mentioned that it's a huge college town? With six large colleges, you would think the city would strive towards at least a more pedestrian and environmentally-friendly community.
Stewart, your story was very interesting and sad. Our land is such an invaluable resource and when you mess it up, it's hard and time-consuming to fix. I've never heard of growing plants to help stave off the effects of pollution, but I think that's a terrific idea!
Anyway, like Melaney said, while those bulbs are expensive (check the dollar stores near you, BC, or maybe even look for them in bulk), they really do save you money on your utilities bill and they last a really long time. I think it's a worthy investment.

Hey BC,
I live in Amish country so I'm sure I can find someone to show you how to make candles. ;)
