The debate is still out on these for many, but in my experience they are not as bad as hyped up to be. Although I do not know a great deal about the waste disposal process I must admit. However as far as use in the home goes, I find the light is not too harsh or too dim (interesting that both criticisms are often applied to these bulbs) I have not had any flickering of bulbs, and since April have not had to change a single energy efficient bulb, and have had half a dozen regular bulbs blow (all new in April).

Simple, small, cumulative action can make a huge difference, now is better than later but perhaps more importantly it is very difficult to address the obstacle of many apathetic attitudes.
