... I can't really elaborate on that.

But I guess I can throw this out there, and ask if it's good:

Man, you love that Seventh Generation, eh? First toilet paper, now light bulbs.

No, no, no.

I didn't actually buy Seventh Generation toilet paper. I buy these, because they make your ass feel so good:

But the Seventh Generation recycled plastic garbage bags are great... they're ... normal garbage bags... only I'm doing a small part to save the enviornment.

i can't seen them before but can't seem to find them on Amazon, but i get the Phillips flourescent bulbs that fit in standard lightbulb sockets. They consume less energy, don't give off heat, and supposedly last for something like 5-7 years. The only downside is they take a second to actually come on after you've flicked on the light switch like the normal rod-shaped flourescents, but after a while it's unnoticeable.

i don't know if it's just one store or all in the food beta, but Amazon doesn't ship to PO boxes. Sucks because i'm not home during the day all the time, and i don't live in a neighborhood where i'd feel comfortable leaving a package on my doorstep until i got home.

I have something like what Aoi Tsuki's describing. It's a 14W bulb, but it's so much brighter than the old 75W, I only need one where I needed two of the old ones...

Who buys toilet paper on amazon?

In terms of lightbulbs, flourescent bulbs are not as bright, and give off an ugly glow, in my opinion of course. Nothing beats natural light, but at night, use lighting sparingly.

Yeah, those are similar to what i'm using. They actually sound better than the Phillips (i think that's the brand) given that they don't have a warm up period.

i've used natural light bulbs a few years ago, and they provide some nice light, but at the time didn't really offer much great power savings. It might be different now but i think if i were to get any it would be for specific situations, like a desk lamp where i'd be reading.

If Amazon shipped to PO boxes, i'd be ordering it. It's about the same price as buying locally, especially if i buying some other items to help with shipping. i'm willing to try anything that'll keep me from making a trip to Walmart.

i don't know what wattage you're using, but i've seen flourescents that give off a comparable amount of light to a 75W bulb, yet they only took around 20W of power. Their color is typically cooler than incandescent bulbs, which makes them seem harsher. There may be other flourescents that give off a more incandescent-like glow, but i'm not sure.

Fluorescent bulbs are the best for saving energy. That seventh generation one only says they save energy in the manufacturing process.

I like the full spectrum fluorescent bulbs, I don't know if they make them in regular lightbulb shapes or not though. Mine are the long tubes. Of course a regular bulb is best, but I have a fluorescent fixture so that's what I use and the full spectrum bulbs are just fine.

Thanks, but the problem lies in the fact that Amazon's using another company, Gristedes Supermarkets of New York, for some of the "food" items in the beta. Grsitedes doesn't ship to PO boxes.

On the plus side, i googled "purple crying thing" which sent me to a GAF thread, which gave me the link for
