Its not just batteries. EVERY item that you buy has packaging that ends up being disposed of into the environment. I know that we need the packaging to protect the goods that we buy but we need to start being extra detemined to recycle these reusable goods. THE WELFARE OF THE ENVIONMENT AS WELL AS OUR HOBBY ARE AT STAKE.

I personally started by bringing my own bucket or cooler to the LFS when I buy an animal. No need to waste a bag that doesn't hold the water temperature well anyway. AND give your LFS a hard time about recycling the cardboard and styrofoam that they receive their shipments in.
