Americans Dumped 3B Toxic Batteries Annually Into USA Landfills — Illegally
Jul 11, 2019
HybridLight's MISSION -- eliminate the toxic nightmare of 3 Billion batteries in American Landfills annually. Solar Rechargeable Hybrid Light® products ROI quickly as your lighting and USB device charging source.
St. George, United States - July 10, 2019 /PressCable/ —
Americans have already thrown away 30 billion ground water polluting batteries in the last decade.
There apparently has been no end in sight — until now.
HybridLight is on a mission to educate, legislate and help eliminate the toxic nightmare of 3 Billion, yes not Million with a “M” but with a “B”, Billion batteries that end up in American Landfills annually.
Yet Europe has policies that require recycling of batteries — the USA does too — but the laws “on the books” are not being followed.
The EU does a better job of recycling than is being accomplished (or not accomplished) by the retailers of batteries in the USA.
Judge for yourself, the toxicity levels of these battery chemicals.
A witches toxic brew of Mercury Lead, Cadmium, Nickel, Hydrides, Alkaline, Zinc, Manganese, Potassium Hydroxide, Lithium, Chlorides, and Phosphates.
Tons and tons of them and if placed end to end, enough to circle the earth 90 times.
The goal then… must be to build battery replacement products, to largely eliminate the need to purchase batteries.
The Municipal Power grid — even gets a boost — because the grid no longer needs to charge USB devices that would normally need to be plugged into the wall to charge.
This next generation of Sun Powered Electronics can be so clever that if you have more than one, all will actually daisy chain together and combine their super high efficiency solar cells to cross charge each other, but every item in the line can power or recharge any USB equipped device and will begin charging them from the light of any source of light: single candle, embers in a campfire, artificial light, cloudy or sunny days, in the shade or in full sunlight…
The side effect of these products — is that they will automatically start to clean up America’s water supply.
Studies show that battery filled flashlights in your glove box or kitchen drawer are typically dead when needed to be used.
Then Americans throw away yet another set of batteries that were purchased just 5 or 6 months ago, stored and were useless when needed.
Avid outdoorsman, environmentalist, owner and creator of HybridLight, Terry Peterson, a former Building Contractor — pioneered a complete line of solar powered mobile lighting and charging solutions designed for when the power of the sun can shed light on adventures, be at the ready in a toolbox, glovebox, emergency kit, night stand and naturally, that kitchen drawer.
To quote Mr. Peterson himself, “We can keep polluting our ground water with decaying batteries” and he continues, “or we can all use the best quality solar panels, that charge the best rechargeable and least toxic battery cell chemistry, the best LEDs — as a start to fixing this huge problem.
Environmentalists note that the sun provides 100 HOURS of continuous light on a single charge — there is no reason to pollute local landfills with disposable toxic batteries again.
Advances in electronics will intelligently charge any brand phone, and it’ll charge like it is plugged in the wall or in a USB charger in a car. Higher end products have the addition of a very unique feature into circuitry, he explains, “Many times the need is for lighting the darkness, more than a fully charged device, so it makes sense to stop charging a device when its internal charge drops to the 20% level, which still leaves a full night’s worth of light (or more).”
Recent technology advancements allow quality hybrid flashlights to begin charging from the light of a single birthday candle.
To make sure these hybrid flashlights don’t end up in the landfill, they should to be designed to last, to be durable, waterproof, shockproof, utilize rubberized flexible ports to cover electronics elements, make them resistant to dirt, dust, mud, moisture…
HybridLights are doing their part — protecting the Environment and the Water Supplies from the Witches Brew of heavy metal toxins.

City tennis chief ‘quietly confident’ Alexandra Eala will play at Hong Kong Open
The city’s tennis chief is “quietly confident” that Filipino superstar Alexandra Eala, and fellow main attractions Paula Badosa and Diana Shanider, will show up for the 2026 Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open in November. In the past two years, Michael Cheng Ming-git has seen Naomi Osaka and Emma Raducanu both withdraw with injuries on the eve of the WTA 250 tournament. But the president of the Hong Kong, China Tennis Association said the “issue about no-shows has got nothing to do with the...
Hong Kong’s Cheung Ka-long ready to rise to challenge overcome by Djokovic, Guardiola
A big believer that elite sporting performance is entirely dictated by an athlete’s brain, Greg Koenig is busy convincing Cheung Ka-long that the Asian Games remain an important date in his calendar. Hong Kong’s first fencing superstar, Cheung has been there and done it over the past five years. He brilliantly won a pair of Olympic golds, first as an unfancied underdog, then as the foil king his rivals all wanted to dethrone, either side of becoming Asian Games champion in 2023. Of Cheung’s...

Kitchee survived playing the final 25 minutes with 10 men, after a debatable red card for captain Ruslan Mingazov, to draw 0-0 with Gangwon FC on Thursday night in their opening AFC Champions League 2 match. Although a point against the strongest team in the group represented a sound return, it could have been even better for the Hong Kong club on their return to Asian competition after three years away. Mingazov and Victor Camarasa, the former Cardiff City midfielder, were both inches wide with...

Hong Kong Premier League on up but Kitchee face AFC Champions League test against Koreans
Although he cheesed off some of his England players when he accused them of being “sloppy” and committing “lots of technical mistakes” following their World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway this summer, Thomas Tuchel’s angst perhaps stemmed from the knowledge that a much tougher test was around the corner. So it would prove, the head coach’s team punch-drunk by the end of their semi-final capitulation against Argentina. For Tuchel two months ago, and indeed Alex Ferguson after the 1983...
Asian Games: when it starts, how to watch, what’s new, where Hong Kong could win gold

It will not be until Sunday that the first gold is handed out, with triathlon and road cycling the most likely candidates to get their athletes on the podium...
Douglas Whyte heaps praise on Zac Purton as pair collects race-to-race Happy Valley double
Douglas Whyte heaped praise on his former fierce rival Zac Purton after the nine-time champion jockey helped get his season up and running with a Happy Valley double on Wednesday night. Live Wire’s success in the Class Four Community Chest Cup (1,200m) was an easy watch for Whyte, but it was the complete opposite when it came to Young Arrow in the second section of the Class Four Lido Handicap (1,200m). Forced to settle back early, Purton again had to steady his mount heading out of the back...
