Regular or Electric toothbrush?
People use different toothbrushes. Regular ones are cheaper, and they can be used for a long time and are better for the enviromment. Electric ones need battery, and when you don't have any, you usely throw the battery away. The widespread use of the batteries has created many evironmental concerns, such as toxic metal pollution. That's why if you throw away your used batteries, make sure to recycle them. Electric toothbrushes can be also good for the enviromment, only if you use recheargeable batteries, so you can use your toothbrush for a longer time.

Oh, I answered 2 questions in that post! :)
ReplyDeleteDo we need a third post??
ReplyDeleteWOW! Did you write it or did you copy it from the internet?! Also, mostly on things with batteries in them showes a litte drawing what show "dont throw in garbage can" or it's atleast supposed to look like it. :D
ReplyDeleteNo, I Didn't copy it from the internet...
ReplyDeleteI looked up internet just to give me an idea what batteries could do to our enviromment!!
Nice post, Alicia. I have gone back and forth between using disposable toothbrushes and electric. I think when I move back to the US I will get a nice electric toothbrush and use it forever and ever!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you need one more post.
i think you have a point,electric toothbrushes ARE good for the enviroment, as long as you reuse the batteries, or give them to some place that reuses old batteries. we do that with our batteries that aren't rechargeble. But is using disposible toothbrushes wasteful?????
ReplyDeleteI think using an electrical tooth brush is good as long as you recylcle the batteries
ReplyDeleteYes I think Vincent is right, we need to recycle the batteries. I did use an eletric toothbrush once and then I moved on to plain brushes because they were exspensive, but I didn't think about recycleing the batteries in them, so I could have used it over, and over again!!
ReplyDeleteI Bet u have a point guys, it might be ok using electric toothbrushes. Although I think I will stick to the normal ones. :0)
ReplyDeletei agree, i will stick to normal ones too.
ReplyDeleteDid you know you can recycle your used batteries here at school? They have a container next to the women who sit in the front entrance of the building. If you don't see it you can always give to me (Ms. Steiman) I have a bin in my room...
ReplyDeleteDid you know you can recycle batteries here at school? They have a battery recycling container near the desk at the entrance of the school. You can also give them to me, I have my own bin in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI think i like the regular toothbrushes better!! The electric ones are more expensive...
