Next up on the quest to be more green...the green battery. We use a lot of batteries in our house. Most of our electronics have built in rechargeable batteries (phones, laptop, i-pods, etc.). But since Gabe got his Wii for Christmas, our battery consumption has dramatically increased. Since a single rechargeable battery can replace up to one thousand single-use alkaline batteries over its lifetime, we've made the switch. Did you know that Americans throw out approximately 179,000 tons of batteries per year? That's a lot of hazardous chemicals sitting in the nation's landfills.
