And the ones that don't break in your home will go to the landfill.

Assuming retros like you ignore proper disposal instructions, as I am sure will be the case, that still represents a lesser environmental hazard than that presented by the the level of mercury spewed by power plants producing the additional 2/3rds of power used by incandescent bulbs.
