Environmental Effects
There is a lot of uncertainty as to the effects of battery holders and batteries on the environment. The debate is evolving alongside developments in environmental awareness, such as concerns over global warming and e-waste. There are concerns that devices, such as cell phones and iPods, are heavily contributing to this through their use of soldered in batteries, which could be made removable and therefore replaceable. This could improve the life of each unit while reducing the amount of e-waste generated.

Famous quotes containing the word effects:
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
