Florescent Lighting Bans?

[Oaktree]

Of course you're correct. But outlawing the sale of only new fluorescent fixtures, rather than the bulbs, would be a much less disruptive means of eventually achieving the same result, without forcing immediate costs onto every property owner.

Do they make 8' LED replacement tubes? A neighbor had a bunch in his garage and wasn't able to find any, but this was a few years ago.

You sure you meant to quote me there, Oak?

Yes. Satco makes 8 foot led with several kinds of tumbstone mounting ends. I replaced my old HO lamps with the 8foot tubes in the horse barn last year. On mine i used direct wire lamps and cut out the ballast. Way brighter than my old HO lamps, and arnt affected my moisture when snow melts like the old lamps were.

If the sale of new fixtures were banned, the demand for bulbs would diminish over time, to where finally the bulb pricing increases to the point where the last few stragglers convert. But in the majority of cases, the aging-out of old fixtures and ballasts would have most already converted, long before the bulbs ultimately went NLA.

I agree, but that wouldn't be the California way.

This is the land that pays people to inspect your garbage, and they will fine you for throwing away recyclable materials.

If someone breaks into your car, don't bother calling the police. They won't respond to that sort of thing.

I have been avoiding reading the news for quite a while now, but back when I was still reading it, my best friend and I used to call each other with California and Northeastern horror woke stories. We always say the same thing: "I think it's great."

I remember reading a California story about giving people incredible sums as reparations, and all I could think was, "Do it do it do it do it." People who hide from the truth need to hit rock bottom before they will do anything to change course.

I throw used oil filters in the trash. Come arrest me.

Doesn't everyone? What else would you even do with it?

Theres no law against that, just make sure there empty of oil.

You don't really want to hear about a local law no one actually obeys.

It can be really difficult disposing of oily trash properly. You really have to work to keep oil and fuel from slopping out and landing on things like weeds and fresh stumps.

Okay!

What about tossing hearing aid or flashlight batteries?

Big trouble if recycling ordinance isn’t obeyed…
