What if I told you that in 1993 people didn't have smartphones and mobile phones too and were happy.

Do we need batteries for the computer if we can plug it into the electric socket?

Do we need mobile phones? Are we all saving lives?

1993 wasn't a stone age. It was a good age.

With good movies and good people.

To create dependence on batteries simply doesn't have any sense.
creating an artificial need for batteries, for a new product,

some even call it a green product

but, this is heavy mining, heavy processing, heavy CO2

was and is just a business.

nothing to do with helping the environment

just mining and manufacturing business

In my youth batteries were hazardous,
will tell you the obvious:
they are still hazardous but are marketed as "green"

a big part from them which made for electric cars, storage batteries for solar, etc. are lead-acid, highly hazardous material
2/2
"batteries are classed as hazardous waste. Why? They contain substances such as sulphuric acid, mercury, nickel, cadmium,or lead, as well as other dangerous materials that can give batteries a variety of hazardous properties"

Why kids show them as green? Why emoji is green?
do we need to mine batteries for solar and wind farms?
no.
again, this is a pure mining business.
together with batteries, fossils heavy produced wind & solar industry becomes dirty as hell and High CO2, more explained here: https://twitter.com/YootDigmeMusic/status/1378210927665876997
maybe electric cars need batteries?
this is super high CO2 "way",
we need to think about how to ditch any type of cars instead, a thread regarding the realities of batteries and cars: https://twitter.com/YootDigmeMusic/status/1378729851063037957

Many believe in magic words like "recycling".

Reality: 1st step is to Reduce. Above is last step.

If we take batteries, recycling them is energy-dense

& they are not designed to be recycled.



9% of plastic is recycled. Batteries will be better?
