Lithium-ion batteries: We can’t live without them. They’re in everything from cell phones to laptops and electric bikes and cars. With their significant solar and wind power storage potential, lithium-ion batteries are making a fossil fuel-free society a real possibility. While lithium-ion batteries are powerful, portable, and versatile, they also pose risks for people like you and me. That risk comes primarily in how we use and dispose of our electronic devices. The UN predicts that electronic waste will be the next great challenge we face. Believe it or not, there are simple, free solutions in our homes and communities to reduce e-waste and help others do the same. Recycle rechargeable batteries for a more sustainable world. Visit benicetoyourdevice.org for simple and safe recycling solutions.
