Many disposable batteries employ heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium as an electrolyte. At the end of the product lifecycle, these batteries are – along with their toxic materials – disposed. As a result, our environment is suffering from the so-called electronic waste or e-waste. Manufacturers of batteries are obliged to provide battery recycling methods such as dropoff points at retailers in order to reduce the impact of battery disposal on the environment. Despite these efforts, a lot of people don’t dispose the dropoff point, but just simply throw them in the garbage bin, creating toxic landfill.
As I was wandering on the world wide web, I discovered an invention called the USBCELL. A revolutionary new rechargeable battery that can be recharged hundreds of times simply by plugging it into an USB port on your computer. In other words, we no longer have to worry about missing charge adaptors or cables, which is not only saving us money, but also hassle.
IMO it’s a great eco-friendly alternative for the classic alkaline batteries! Do you agree?

I would definitely use these! I even searched the internet for them and I found out that, surprisingly, they're not expensive at all!
