Let There Be Light Bulbs

If you are young and ecological (I used to be young and ecological too) you might not see what all the fuss is about. Well, the fuss is that if you are over 40 years of age and don't want to go blind while reading with fluorescent lights or want to be made ill being forced to live around them, you wouldn't get the resistence to being forced to use all fluorescents. For example, most of the regular lighting bulbs in my house are now fluorescent. Unless I'm reading a book I think fluorescents are okay to save money even though I don't like them at all. I remember working as a computer programmer computer operator in 1968 and back then there were no windows because all computers cost millions of dollars back then. (Even though you probably have more computing power in your electronic calculator or laptop than we did with all those millions of dollars in computing power then). However, they only had fluorescent lighting and   no windows to the outside at all (because they didn't want the windows broken and the computers stolen). We also had electrical coronas from the types of higher power usage computers than now. And because I was working 7 days a week at age 20 from midnight to noon, I eventually got sick. To this day I hate the long fluorescent lights of 4 to 8 feet long from those memories. In studies done with plants often they will get ill or even die if they only have fluorescent lighting. People are also adversely affected health wise from fluorescent lighting and tend to get sick and depressed more if they are exposed to constant fluorescent lighting. Likely there are higher rates of suicide as well when living with only fluorescent lighting.

So, for example, I open all the shutters to the windows facing my large back yard to bring in the daylight during the day and turn off all fluorescent lights because like plants people need the daylight to stay healthy because that is what we were designed for. We were not designed to live in fluorescent lighting. Nothing living is made happy by fluorescent lighting.


So, why should we be forced to buy ALL fluorescent lighting if all it does is take away our eyesight and make us ill?


It should be a matter of choice and not of being forced to do this. Otherwise it is only government enforced illness and blindness.
