Florescent light bulbs are actually environmentally positive. It is much more efficient than incandescent to the point where the amount of mercury that is expelled from a coal plant into the air is greater when powering an incandescent over its lifetime as compared to the amount of mercury the same coal plant expels during the lifetime of a florescent light bulb (which is longer by the way) plus the amount of mercury used to make the florescent.
