I'm convinced that most people throw them away and they are extremely dangerous when broken. The article said that if you break a CFL, you need to open doors and windows, discard any clothing in sealed plastic bags that may get contaminated in the cleanup, keep children and small animals out of the area for hours...it was really eye opening. How many people know this?
