Rechargable Battery Challenge Results

At the beginning of January I challenged Bean Sprouts Readers to get a battery recharger and use it instead of buying disposable batteries which contain all kinds of nasty substances and should never be thrown into landfill.

A record-breaking 119 people voted in the challenge poll, which is really amazing. The votes were as follows:

• 
  I've gone green! I've got a battery recharger 32 votes (26%)
  I was already green! I always use rechargable batteries! 79 votes (66%)
  I don't want to! I love my copper-tops! 2 votes (2%)
  I'm greener than thou! I don't use devices that need batteries! 6 votes (5% )

If it's really true that 32 people went out and bought battery rechargers because of Bean Sprouts, then I am absolutely thrilled. Keep on using them, and you'll save money, save energy, and keep dangerous chemicals out of the landfill.

A new challenge for February will be posted soon.
