IN CASE YOU BREAK ONE...

The US Government has decided that the American public must light the night with new fluorescent bulbs.
We are no longer to be able to buy the old bulbs we grew up with, the normal looking ones.

And, the Government warns that we should observe certain procedures if we should break one.
You no longer can just sweep them up.

Below are the safeguards, as reported by the msm:

The Environmental Protection Agency has posted a list of clean-up instructions, in case one of the compact fluorescent bulbs breaks:
--Have people and pets leave the room
--Air out the room for 5-10 minutes
--Shut off the heating/air-conditioning system
--Be thorough in collecting broken glass and visible powder
--Place cleanup materials in a sealable container
--Put all bulb debris and cleanup materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area
--Continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken
--Leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.

You can still find the traditional incandescent bulbs on some store shelves. For now.
The last plant that made them in the U.S. moved its light bulb operation to China in September.

No.
They gotta be kidding.
This could not be.
