Rechargeable… please!
I find it surprising that in this day and age not enough people are using rechargeable batteries. Did you know that non-reusable batteries create more than several 100,000 tons of waste per year? Switch to rechargeable batteries! and spread the news… it makes a difference.
I remember in one company I was working in long back, everyone had a pager, and had to change the batteries every week. That would be almost 20,000 batteries a year generated from our one building alone. I just made the case for rechargeable batteries to my manager. Well they switched (unfortunately they switched the wrong kind of rechargeable – NiCd instead of NiMH). Reason why I narrate this is that… it doesn’t take too much effort to make a big impact.
