I was a good boy

I bought a reading light for my bed. It was a fluorescent. In small print in the instructions was a warning that if the bulb had a symbol Hg, the bulb contained mercury and need special disposal.

Wait a minute! Mercury is a toxic poison. If I break the bulb in my house I might as well call hazmat because mercury is a liquid that can get into rugs and in the cracks of wood floors. Just how is this better for the environment.
