Just heard IKEA on the radio!

I listen to streaming NPR at work and they were doing a report on Fluorescent bulbs and their need to be recycled.

IKEA came up as the only American retailer recycling the bulbs!

Yeah, IKEA!!!

Kinda says something doesn't it?

Seems a bit telling that IKEA's the only retailer in the US doing offering to recycle them, and their guiding corporate principles are coming from Sweden. Gotta hope that maybe some other companies will take the hint and start emulating some of their policies... Go Go IKEA! Wonder if they shouldn'`t have worked green into their logo somewhere.
