It was Earth Hour Day last night when cities all around the world switched off their lights for one hour from 8.30 PM. We did our bit. One of our long life bulbs gave up the ghost and we didn't replace it until this morning!
However, we realise that we can't just dispose of the old bulb - but what do we do with it.
The Council website says nothing and in fact it warns that if a bulb breaks then special measures must be taken; measures which it says are not printed on the packets in NZ.
Crazy!!
It does say that you can contact a firm to dispose of them but this is only suitable for large organisations who have hundreds.
