Re: Excellent start in fact. I
Are there any CFL's made in the United states? The great majority I have found are made in China, and the remainder are from the Philipines. I am a label checker, and try not to buy unnecessary items from countries that practice poor environmental controls and unjust labor practices in their industry. This gives them an unfair market advantage over American Manufacturers, and is bad for our economy in the long run. I have a few CFL's installed, but am hesitant to purchase more because they aren't made in the U.S. We have installed motion sensors, with automatic shut-offs in our kids rooms. I keep lights off when not in a room. I'm thinking the next step is sky-lights. If anyone knows of a brand of CFL that is U.S. made, and a store that sells them please let me know.
