What can you do to avoid creating battery waste?

Use rechargeable batteries wherever possible - you can even buy a solar powered recharger!

Plug electrical equipment into the mains electricity.

Try to buy appliances that use renewable energy: a wind-up radio or torch, dynamo bicycle lights or a solar powered calculator.
