We live in a capitalist society and we have a very “live for today, don’t worry about tomorrow” attitude towards our lifestyle which is demonstrated in a number of different ways. We rely upon consumer products with reckless abandonment, very rarely taking the time to even contemplate the effort or cost that was incurred in the production of the goods in question. How many of us have blithely handed over cash to pay for a particular electronic device, and not even gave a thought to the sheer effort that is required, or the resources expended in the production of the item in question? This is an issue that applies even with a Solar Powered Battery Charger.
There will be readers who will remain cynical about the role that their usage of various appliances plays in relation to the infliction of damage to the environment, especially given how innocuous and innocent they seem. Some of us will grudgingly admit and concede a small measure of culpability, acknowledging the fact that the actual manufacturing process of the appliances and electronic devices is a major source of pollution. However, the polluting effects of our devices does not end there, indeed every time we power or charge them up, is yet another slap in the face for Mother Nature. Whether it is due to electrical batteries which are non bio-degradable, or the electricity we derive from our main power supply which in turn is created using massively polluting fossil fuels: rest assured, it is taking its toll on our planet.
Electrical batteries are a nightmare to dispose of, there really is no real way to dispose of them cleanly, efficiently and above all else: safely. Cost rules supreme when it comes to disposal of these units, and so the most cost effective solution is to dump them in landfill sites and simply bury more rubbish on top of them. This would not be such a big issue if the components were actually biodegradable…but they aren’t and so unless we can wait around a century for them to finally break down, we have a real problem on our hands. We can’t burn or melt the components because that would create an unacceptably high level of pollution as well as potentially and actually lethal gases which would pose a significant risk to the personnel involved in the incineration process.
Thankfully, research has finally came to fruition and borne a remarkable new product: the solar powered battery charger. What makes this item so ideal for the current dilemma is that it is rechargeable meaning that the consumer can use the item in question for much longer periods of time which in turn reduces the need for manufacturing the chargers in the first place. This single fact in of itself means that the pollution and toxins which are an unhappy by product of the process can finally be put to rest.
