A typical commercial building's lighting averages 37-50% of its electrical demand.
1 Billion fluorescent lamps are disposed of every year globally.
That's 50,000 pounds of mercury waste. It takes only 4 mg of mercury to poison 7,000 gallons of water.
Enough mercury to pollute every gallon of water in the US & Canada.
70% of the nations electricity comes from the dirty coal burning plants.
