Sister Sandra wrote in with this terrific idea:
"For x-mas we can have a recycled light bulb making party where everyone brings their incandescent light bulbs to the party where we turn them into xmass tree ornaments and give everyone a CFL in exchange! I bet we could get a reasonable price on CFL's if we buy them at costco. We would also have to educate people on how to dispose of their CFLs when they are done (after 10 years)."
Even if my logo will be made obsolete by this trend (btw: how did people represent people getting ideas in cartoons before there was electricity??), I think it's a small price to pay, and that this idea is pure, glowing brilliance! It reminds me of the Birds for Bulbs site that Justin recently pointed me to.
Let's actually do this one, eh? Maybe I can give out special "Mary's Great Ideas" light bulb head dolls, too.
Before there was electricity, no one had any ideas.
I'm so happy I made it on your list of great ideas. You know, I send these ideas around and never know if anyone is listening.
