Green Tip of the Day

Stop replacing your watch battery

Time for a kinetic (automatic quartz) or solar-powered one. Neither ever needs new batteries, so you're averting chems and saving cash.

These watches will last your whole lifetime - you never have to change the battery. Some models will stay charged up to a year without needing a recharge. Save on batteries, which last, at most, up to 2 years.

Watch batteries contain chems like lead and mercury.

Kinetics charge when you move your arms, and even indoor fluorescent light will charge solar watches.
