And I mean very thorough &#8212; there&#8217;s even news on recalls of CFLs (thought it looks like that hasn&#8217;t happened in some time).  Randy&#8217;s clearly put a lot of thought and effort into a site devoted to one of the easiest green purchases any of us can make. He&#8217;s also teamed up with Kenny Luna, whom <a href=\"http:\/\/sustainablog.blogspot.com\/2006\/02\/mr-luna-man-with-mission.html\">I wrote about very recently<\/a>, to help promote Kenny&#8217;s drive to give every child in the country a CFL.
