1. I'm sorry, but using fluorescent lights is one concession I am
unwilling to make. The suicide rate would skyrocket if we were forced to live our lives under fluorescent lights. Attention, KMart shoppers!

2. They're not your grandma's flourescents anymore
The screw-in types are a whole different animal. Give 'em a try.

6. Modern flourescent bulbs are full spectrum
This means they give off light that is identical (as far as your eyes are concerned) to sunlight. They are in fact better than incandescent bulbs in this respect.

Seriously give them a try. I recently (about three weeks ago) switched nearly all of my bulbs over and it took less than a day to get adjusted. The only lights I kept as incandescent bulbs were the ones on dimmers.

3. I doesn't supersede everything
but it's a good indicator of commitment to environmental issues.
