Avoid disposable batteries
Try to buy products that don't require batteries but rely on renewable energy instead. You can now buy all sorts of wind-up or solar-powered gadgets including radios, torches, calculators, phone chargers, toys and garden lights. If you can't avoid batteries, opt for rechargeable ones - they'll save you money in the long run. You can buy solar powered rechargers if you want to reduce your environmental impact even further.
