Thanks Steph on the heads up. I am more concerned about lead paint in older housing than the chance I would break a CFL.

Lead paint is deteriorating at a rapid rate. It is just in so many older places ~ and ~ so many things which come from China! Children's toys included!!! A geocoin isn't going into Amara's hands until she is at least over 5! I bet those babies are loaded with lead.

All kidding aside ~ lead paint is in a lot of older housing, on boats and in automotive paint. It is the real deal and as dangerous as mercury with young children. Google lead paint for some good links to get information.

Steph - thanks for keeping us all environmentally sharp! Ah, sharps in the waste stream - now that could be another topic.
