These are your standard run-of-the-mill plain jane alkaline batteries, but there is something special about them. So, I'm going to go ahead and point at it. Earth friendly landfill safe. So, these are batteries that are supposedly ecoresponsible. They contain 0% cadmium, lead, and mercury. And they are digital alkaline batteries, by the way. And they are landfill safe, meaning that they are there. It is patent pending leak resist seal. They are equipped with a patent pending leak resist seal. So today, more and more people are mindful about the products they use every day and their associated environmental impact and global warming contributions. Here we have a CO2 carbon footprint jiggy. By purchasing eco-aline batteries, you're doing your part to reduce the CO2 and climate change impact brought about by the production, distribution, and disposable alkaline batteries. Asterex does not take a stance on the global warming issue. So, you know, just throwing that out there, but I'm just telling you guys what the manufacturer has to say. Ecoalkine batteries are progressive, high-quality consumer batteries with performance rivaling national leading alkaline battery brands. Interesting. Okay. Do not recharge these batteries. If they are recharged, then they will break. Okay. And woo, there they are. Okay. So, hold on. Hold on. Let me get them. Let me get them all opened. Let me see what else they have to Oh, okay. I'm making a total mess here. Let me see what else they have to say for themselves. So, they are certified carbon neutral and the world's first, but I'm going to find where that asterisk goes and I'm going to find out what it's all about. Hold on. Where does it go? Um, okay. I can't find it. Okay. Aboutcarbonfund.org. So, leading nonprofit provider of carbon offset and climate solutions organizations make it easy to Okay. Uh, carbon offset enables individuals working with carbon which has the first carbon neutral product label in the US. Ecoalkine batteries are certified carbon neutral. Okay. So here's all the details. The asterisk doesn't go anywhere in particular. It just refers to the pamphlet itself. So here are the test results which you can view online showing the EcoAkalines versus Duracell Energizer and Kirkland. That's the Costco brand of all things. Okay. We've also got uh the pretty much the same stuff that we covered on the back of the box and the front of the box. And today consumers are more aware of the environmental impact of the products they use every day. Created by the manu alkaline batteries in Canada. Wow, look at that. More than 296 million car kilm equivalent of CO2 are created by the manufacturer, distribution, use, and disposal of alkaline batteries in Canada. All other batteries carry at least one of the three elements above. That means cadmium, lead, and mercury. Other brands may limit the usage by maintaining levels below the 0.9% that allows them to be called free, but these harmful chemicals are still present. Interesting. That's up to 900 times more dangerous materials than eco batteries. Ecoalkine brand batteries have zero of these heavy metals. I mean that to me is more than almost anything else the big thing here. I mean there's the carbon neutral stuff. There's the not leaking which is well actually critical but then the fact that they don't contain the heavy metals in the first place and if they can still provide the same performance that you're going to get from another alkaline battery then great why not. So guys, thanks for checking out my little unboxing and preview or feature or whatever you want to call it of the Eco Alkaline batteries.
