Better Batteries- Rechargeable Batteries for the Arts
Sunday, 23 October 2011 10:18
Rechargeable batteries have 32 times less impact on the environment than disposables, and one rechargeable battery replaces 93 disposables, saving an average of $65 per battery per year.
The Julies Bicycle Better Batteries brings together the music and theatre industries in a drive to switch over to rechargeable battery systems, and increase the rate of recycling for both disposable and rechargeable batteries. Recycling batteries is crucial to reuse finite natural resources and prevent the release of harmful chemicals such as lead, mercury or cadmium.
Case studies from the Better Batteries campaign show that large-scale productions using rechargeable batteries can save over $3,500 per year.
The campaign aims to sign up at least 100 organisations in 2012.
