Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Please note that in California, fluorescent lights may not be thrown into the trash, since they contain a small amount of mercury. Should a fluorescent light break, please follow the guidelines below:

• Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area for at least 15 minutes.
• Turn off your air conditioner/fan/heater to prevent the circulation of any mercury vapor.
• Have young children and pregnant women leave the area during cleanup.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a dust mask and gloves to keep bulb dust and glass from being inhaled or contacting your skin.
• Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in a secure closed container.
• Next begin collecting the smaller pieces and dust. It is recommended that you use two stiff pieces of paper, such as index cards or one of the many commercial mercury spill kits available.
• Put all material into a sealed container. Pat the area with the sticky side of duct, packing, or masking tape, and wipe the area with a damp cloth.
• Put all waste and materials used to clean up the bulb in a secure closed container and label it: "Universal Waste--broken lamp".
• Take the container for recycling to the household hazardous waste (HHW)facility nearest you.
• If the bulb breaks on carpet, it is recommended that you ventilate the area for several hours before, during, and after the process of vacuuming, because vacuuming can circulate the vapor. If you vacuum, be sure to dispose of the bag along with the broken fluorescent light bulb at your local HHW facility. You should also ventilate the room during the next few times that you vacuum the area.

B & H Flowers, Incorporated
B & H Flowers, Incorporated, located in Carpinteria, is a VeriFlora Certified Sustainably Grown greenhouse, one of the few greenhouses in Santa Barbara County so certified.  VeriFlora is a sustainability certification program for growers of cut flowers and potted plants, a program that guarantees that flowers and potted plants have been produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner and meet the highest standards for freshness and quality. The VeriFlora program encompasses criteria in the areas of environmental sustainability (sustainable crop production, resource conservation and energy efficiency, ecosystem protection, and integrated waste management), social and economic sustainability (fair labor practices, community benefits), and product integrity (product quality and safety).  This certification highlights the company’s commitment to their community and the environment.

Ten years ago, the firm made the decision to cut pesticide use through the extensive use of beneficial insects.  On the rare occasion when a need to use a pesticide arises, B & H Flowers uses the least toxic alternative.  B & H is also now moving toward the use of certified organic fertilizers.  B&H collects all of its rainwater and irrigation water in a holding/percolating pond and recycles the water through a completely self-contained system, resulting in no runoff.  They conserve water by watering precisely based on daily inspection of their plants and water valves so they never over-water or under-water. Also, all new high-efficiency water pumps have been installed. 

The firm recycles everything possible including pallets, construction and demolition debris, piping, and electronics and uses its green waste as mulch.  It reduces its paper waste by ordering supplies by e-mail or telephone, using the back sides of printed sheets and outdated letterhead, stopping ju
