Good luck.

Linda asks…

Eco-friendly way to ditch old makeup?

I have a massive amount of old makeup.

For the most part the culprits are lips products, though I do have one or two old mascaras and shadows, as well as a small but ancient vile of acne solution.

I have no clue what to do with these products other then washing or dissolving them in their containers and pouring them down the sink, which seems like a very enviromentally unsound way to deal with the clutter.

I’ve seen “art” and “costume party” solutions, though I want a simple and stationary way to resolve this issue. Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

The Expert answers:

Don’t throw it away…or at least not yet. Talk to friends to see if they would like to take any of your stuff, or see if a charity or thrift store would accept the makeup. If I were you, I’d keep some just in case a celebration or such.

Laura asks…

Do eco-friendly light bulbs have trace amounts of mercury?

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association or NEMA is a U.S.-based association, which was created on September 1, 1926, when the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies and the Electric Power Club merged. It is headquartered in Rosslyn, Virginia. It sets many common standards used in electrical products among its over 400 members.

The Expert answers:

Some do, but it’s mercury gas not the room temperature liquid form. Of course, the fumes are what is poisonous, so if you have these installed and one breaks, always wear a mask over your mouth and nose just to be safe.
