Hanukkah is over, Christmas is almost here, and ‘tis the season to suddenly need batteries for all those new toys, appliances and gadgets. Before you stock up on the economy size pack, consider investing in rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries have 28 times less impact on global warming, 30 times less impact on air pollution, 9 times less impact on air acidification, and 12 times less impact on water pollution! While they are more expensive to purchase than disposable batteries, you will earn your money back over time.
Keep in mind that in order to earn your money back and be better for the environment, they must be used to their potential…meaning it’s inefficient and harmful to the environment if rechargeable batteries are only used a few times. To learn more about the best rechargeable batteries, click here.
And when switching over to rechargeable batteries, be sure to recycle your disposable batteries when they are out of juice. When batteries corrode, they leak chemicals and toxins into the soil and groundwater. To avoid that from happening, find a place near you by searching on this website.
