CFL were suppose to be a SHORT TERM stop gap while we converted to better lights like LED...sadly the industry doesn't understand what
short term was suppose to mean! CFL contain mercury and should never have been this immensely produced. Yes they use less energy but I still don't consider them "green"...any time you break one you expose yourself to toxic mercury and most people that use them do not realize this and toss them in the garbage then releasing the mercury into the environment as a whole....
Anyhow... /off topic
The GMO stuff is downright scary...and yes there are some regulations for the food industry but nothing to stop anyone from playing around with 'ornamental' just for fun...I fear we are in the age where if we want to keep things non-gmo we need to keep them separate and carefully pollinate in a controlled environment to prevent contamination....depressing if I think about it to long.
