Welcome to the August 25th, 2008 edition of All Things Eco.

Lovelyn presents Recycle Your Compact Fluorescent Bulbs posted at The Art of Balanced Living. Lovelyn comments in her article about learning of the mercury content in CFCs and says, "Just when I thought I was doing something good for the environment, I discover this." I just have to add that nothing we do is perfect, it's all about taking small steps toward a better future.
Leah Mansback presents Energy-Efficiency and The Cost of Home Ownership and Is It Time to Replace That Air-Conditioner? posted at GreenHomes America. The second article gives tips for when you may need a new air conditioner. From the first article:
