Each year consumers in the US throw away about 3 billion batteries. If you were to string 3 billion batteries end to end, they would wrap around the entire earth 4 times! Battery waste has also been piling up in America’s landfills for over a hundred years, introducing toxic chemicals into the earth that are harmful to all forms of life. earthCell batteries are a green take on the age-old battery, combining the convenience and reliability of alkalines with the environmental friendliness and high performance of rechargeables. Each pre-charged LSD-NiMH battery lasts 30-50% longer than alkalines, even in high-power devices, and there’s no waste because you can return used batteries to earthCell with the included, prepaid mailer. For more information or to get your own set of batteries, check out earthCell’s Kickstarter page here.
