The truth nobody wants to hear is that you can recycle all the batteries you want but the planet is still fucked.

Live in a small home/apartment, don’t eat meat or dairy products, don’t drive or fly in planes, and don’t have kids. That’s how someone who lives in a modern developed nation can “do their part” for the planet. I live that way but almost nobody else is willing.

Wringing your hands that batteries get thrown out instead of recycled is like complaining the toilet is running when the house is on fire.
