i didn't check where mine are made but i bet its probably on the assembly line right next to yours. i don't think of the environmental transport costs of the goods that i am buying and i should. one of the things about coal that suprises me is how much is actually used, and how little uses clean coal technology in power production

>I have also started replacing my bulbs with CFLs. Unfortunately, mine are made in China. It's not that I object to buying things from China. However, those bulbs were likely made with energy from coal (China uses more coal than any country in the world). Burning coal releases a lot of carbon dioxide, along with pollutants. Also, those CFL have to be shipped here to the U.S. I'm fairly certain those ships aren't using wind power :).
