Home Depot Collects CFLs for Recycling
Home Depot stores have launched a nationwide program
to help people recycle compact fluorescent
light bulbs (CFL). “With more than 75 per-
cent of households located within 10 miles
of a Home Depot store,” according to a
company spokesman, there’s no excuse
not to recycle these bulbs.
Energy-wise, CFLs are far better for the
pocketbook and environment than tradi-
tional incandescent bulbs. But, like any flu- o-
rescent, their mercury content makes them a toxic hazard in
an incinerator or landfill. Thus, the need for proper recycling
ensues.
In a related move, this fall, Home Depot is switching all
of its U.S. light fixture showrooms to CFL technology. With
nearly 2,000 locations, this change alone will save the com-
pany $16 million a year in energy costs.
September Ananda
Celebrating a Month of Yoga Bliss
Millions of yoga enthusiasts will practice
their asanas (positions) around the
world during September to further the
causes of world peace, environmental
responsibility, community service and
better health.
Save your health. On September 21 and 22, practi-
tioners will honor the United Nation’s
International Day of Peace through
the Global Mala Project. It unites yoga communities from
every continent to form a sacred circle, or, “mala around the
earth,” through collective practices based upon the sacred
cycle of 108. Many of the events, held in 30 countries, will
benefit charitable groups dedicated to fighting global warm-
ing and AIDS. Participating centers or schools will take part
according to their tradition and inspiration: 108 Sun saluta-
tions; 108 rounds of a mantra or a kriya; or 108 minutes of
meditation, kirtan or movement meditation.
September is also National Yoga Month. The month-long
observance caps a year-round grassroots national awareness
