Show Notes
Join us while we discuss the impacts of household alkaline batteries on the environment and human health. Listen to the surprising statistics of battery purchases, battery usage, and the reasons why so many batteries are thrown in the trash without a care. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans throw away more than three billion batteries annually, with more than 86,000 tons consisting of single use alkaline batteries. Combine that with those using and disposing of batteries globally and it's very scary.
