I feel this is very important. Please watch.
Global's 16:9 (Episode 106): Rays of Rash and Dirty Energy

This video reveals the dangers of CFLs, which emit high amounts of UV rays and radio frequencies.

As much as I want to be green, I cannot use CFLs because they make me feel dizzy and nauseous, but I didn't know why. My mom and I are also UV sensitive and my mom started getting a rash immediately after she installed a CFL. This video explains why. If incandescent lights are banned in Canada, this will be a major problem. I hope LEDs are the answer.

*sun (UV/photo) sensitivity/allergy can be caused by a number of reasons, including certain diseases, drugs, naturally sensitive skin, a confused immune system or hormonal changes from pregnancy. Boooo.
