Switching from conventional batteries to rechargeables is a quick, easy and convenient way to reduce one’s carbon footprint. Take a second to think about what battery operated devices you have at home and work. Your remote controls, wireless computer mice, cordless telephone, MP3 players, torches, clocks, electronic scales, and most kids toys too!
The list of battery-using gadgets is surprisingly long. Switching to rechargeable energy sources reduces the materials needed to produce disposable batteries. Plus, it prevents harmful landfill waste.
If you do use disposable batteries, you can recycle them! Check your workplace local council. There are battery recycling programmes everywhere, and most of them are free for domestic recyclers.
