Use Rechargeable Batteries

Brought to FEN by National PTA®

Teach your children how to recharge batteries for their toys. This helps not only to reduce garbage, but also keeps toxic metals such as mercury (found in some batteries) from getting into the environment. Another alternative is to buy batteries with reduced toxic metals.
