Finally, the answer to a question many have been puzzled about! How do I clean up a broken CFL bulb properly ? The answer is laid out clearly on the EPA website:

Disposing of CFLs in an environmentally responsible manner has also become easier across the USA:

Yep, there are warm (also known as “soft”) , daylight (full spectrum), and cool (brash to most folks) CFLs these days! You can get floods, globes, bulb-shaped spirals, mini bulbs, even yellow bug light CFLs.
So stop complaining that they won’t work for you, and start saving by slashing your energy usage fast and furiously by simply swapping out your incandescent and halogen bulbs.
Go green and save money at the same time. Now you can truly afford to enroll for renewable energy through your utility account because you have reduced your usage significantly. Awesome.
