I was looking for info on birdhouses and came across two interesting articles on
treehugger.com.
- Wind farms are often criticized for endangering birds, but the newer forms of wind turbines are not as much of a hazard. However, reader comments offer some interesting rebuttals (but you have to wade through some childish name-calling to get to them.) See Common eco-myth.
- Mercury in CFL's that is released when the energy saving bulb is disposed of is in a form more able to enter the food chain than that released by power stations. The article includes a comment that LED's may be the coming thing in energy-saving lighting and a reader's tip that Ace hardware stores in some states take cfls for recycling.
