Batteries have all sorts of bad stuff in them, like lithium and lead, so please recycle your alkaline batteries! If you don’t know where, check out Earth 911 or the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation to find a local drop off site.Â
While I’m on the topic of batteries… I’m really digging this new rechargeable battery charger I purchased on Amazon. If you want to go even more green, consider purchasing rechargeable batteries – they typically have a longer lifespan and are less expensive than ever before.
We also started purchasing rechargeable batteries, mainly because where I live you can’t do anything with them once they die, other than leave them in a bag in your house. I’ve noticed some products don’t work with them though, which is irritating. But rechargeable batteries definitely are terrific!
