Are all CFL's created equal-does it matter?

Today I came across a great site that goes into great detail about "green" lighting and the use of energy efficient lights including a popular growing light called a CFL also known as compact fluorescent light. Last year alone 300 million of these little lamps where sold. Should we be excited about this? Well in a sense yes but in another sense no. Just like all natural cleaning and "Green Cleaning" not all are created equal. I like to use this analogy, if something is 99% natural and 1% not natural does it make it natural or not? To find out more about energy saving lamps and lower mercury lighting, visit Environmental Working Group and check out the EWG's Guide to Light Bulbs.

Eco-Friendly, All Natural, LEDs and more.

This post is sort of a "catch all" or better put a summary of all that is going on with All Natural Cleaning blogs by All Natural Residential Green Cleaning. This new year has some exciting things in store. Recently my wife and I founded My Eco Lamp to help with making sure spent fluorescent lamps, ballasts, batteries and e-waste are recycled. To find out more about My Eco Lamp visit us online.

We also wanted to share some exciting news about our all natural cleaning post at Squidoo All Natural Cleaning We have made it in the top 25 of the Green Lens section on Squidoo. Thank you for all your help in helping change the way the world cleans, "Naturally".

Lastly, we wanted to point out that on our new site click here you will find some great LED lights and resources on natural lighting for both home and businesses. One of the great things about EarthLED is that they do not contain mercury and last a long time up to 10 times longer then a CFL and 50 times longer then a standard incandescent. Great job to the guys at EarthLED!
