With Earth Day on the horizon, we’re working on some shirts for Wire & Twine. One of them is about 50 easy ways to go a little greener, and it’s got me thinking. I’m pretty good at recycling and we made the switch to cloth diapers, but there are some things I could be doing better. So I think I’m going to try to do one thing a month.
This month: batteries. We’ve been using rechargeables for the baby monitors since Neko came along, but we’ve been using traditional batteries for everything else. As I wandered through the aisles of Target the other day, I stumbled upon this Energizer Family Charger. It’s big enough to charge many batteries at a time, and it charges batteries of any size. For $30, I can make the switch. Now, every time we need new batteries, I’m going to buy a set of rechargeables instead.
Okay, so maybe I chose a project for my first month that may be in progress for a whole year, but, um, good start?
