Dark side to Earth Day lightbulbs

Students in Fairfax and Arlington counties will soon be selling toxic products as a PTA fundraiser … sort of.

On April 22, Earth Day, the Bright Futures Project of Fairfax and Arlington county schools launches a two-week drive to replace one incandescent bulb with one compact fluorescent light bulb for each child enrolled in those school systems — 167,000 bulbs in Fairfax County and 18,600 in Arlington.
