And all the dead whales used to procure blubber to fuel lighting in large cities. And the tars you could inhale from open wood fires, before kerosene and whale blubber.

Every fluorescent light has the poisonous and potentially deadly heavy metal mercury in it.There is as yet nothing in place to effectively recycle these lights in Australia.
