00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Today I will be unboxing batteries and not rechargeable batteries. These are

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,279
your standard run-of-the-mill plain jane

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,199
alkaline batteries, but there is something special about them. So, I'm

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:28,359
going to go ahead and point at it. Earth friendly landfill safe. So, these are

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:35,040
batteries that are supposedly ecoresponsible. They contain 0% cadmium,

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,440
lead, and mercury. And they are digital

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:44,480
alkaline batteries, by the way. And they are landfill safe, meaning that they are

8
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,239
there. It is patent pending leak resist

9
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,640
seal. They are equipped with a patent pending leak resist seal. So today, more

10
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,120
and more people are mindful about the products they use every day and their associated environmental impact and

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,840
global warming contributions. Here we have a CO2 carbon footprint jiggy. By

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,039
purchasing eco-aline batteries, you're doing your part to reduce the CO2 and

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,479
climate change impact brought about by the production, distribution, and disposable alkaline batteries. Asterex

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,920
does not take a stance on the global warming issue. So, you know, just

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,280
throwing that out there, but I'm just telling you guys what the manufacturer

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,240
has to say. Ecoalkine batteries are progressive, high-quality consumer

17
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,880
batteries with performance rivaling national leading alkaline battery brands. Interesting. Okay. Do not

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,400
recharge these batteries. If they are recharged, then they will break. Okay.

19
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:31,520
And woo, there they are. Okay. So, hold on. Hold on. Let me get them. Let me get

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,479
them all opened. Let me see what else they have to Oh, okay. I'm making a

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,360
total mess here. Let me see what else they have to say for themselves. So,

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,560
they are certified carbon neutral and the world's first, but I'm going to find

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,840
where that asterisk goes and I'm going to find out what it's all about. Hold

24
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,840
on. Where does it go?

25
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:04,479
Um, okay. I can't find it. Okay.

26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Aboutcarbonfund.org. So, leading nonprofit provider of carbon offset and

27
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,640
climate solutions organizations make it easy to Okay. Uh, carbon offset enables

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,120
individuals working with carbon which has the first carbon neutral product label in the US. Ecoalkine batteries are

29
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:22,080
certified carbon neutral. Okay. So here's all the details. The asterisk doesn't go anywhere in particular. It

30
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,160
just refers to the pamphlet itself. So here are the test results which you can

31
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,239
view online showing the EcoAkalines versus Duracell Energizer and Kirkland.

32
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,319
That's the Costco brand of all things. Okay. We've also got uh the pretty much

33
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,160
the same stuff that we covered on the back of the box and the front of the

34
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,920
box. And today consumers are more aware

35
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,480
of the environmental impact of the products they use every day. Created by

36
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:52,000
the manu alkaline batteries in Canada. Wow, look at that. More than

37
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,360
296 million car kilm equivalent of CO2

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,280
are created by the manufacturer, distribution, use, and disposal of alkaline batteries in Canada. All other

39
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,800
batteries carry at least one of the three elements above. That means

40
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,879
cadmium, lead, and mercury. Other brands may limit the usage by maintaining

41
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,319
levels below the 0.9% that allows them to be called free, but these harmful

42
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,519
chemicals are still present. Interesting. That's up to 900 times more

43
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,599
dangerous materials than eco batteries. Ecoalkine brand batteries have zero of

44
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,959
these heavy metals. I mean that to me is more than almost anything else the big

45
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:27,280
thing here. I mean there's the carbon neutral stuff. There's the not leaking

46
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,799
which is well actually critical but then the fact that they don't contain the

47
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,200
heavy metals in the first place and if they can still provide the same

48
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,440
performance that you're going to get from another alkaline battery then great

49
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,720
why not. So guys, thanks for checking out my little unboxing and preview or

50
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,640
feature or whatever you want to call it of the Eco Alkaline batteries. And don't
