MY GOD MAN!! Technically???? I've been on many construction site where old batteries and much worse soil contamination has been found. And there has never been a contaminated strata. Technically I have witnessed that one battery cannot contaminate "quite a lot of ground water". First the battery must be placed close to an aqua strata. Then we wait, oh lets say one hundred years? Rain will have diluted the acid and the lead will dissolve. By then man will have dug up that battery building more homes and carried off the dirt at some ridiculous price to save a green tree frog. My point is recycling is supposed to free our environment of trash and pollutants. Instead it costs more money and the consumer would rather throw out the product, than spend even more money. Ya see, the majority of the population doesn't live in the cities. Rural America doesn't have a recycle center at every Starbucks in town. Go to Staples and look at the price of recycled paper products. 100% recycled paper is twice the price of 30% paper. Why is that? Why do we have a recycle fee attached to new tires? Then have to pay another disposal fee? Because recycling and being "green" is nothing more than feeling good and spending lots of money. The result is someone getting rich.
