With all of the recent battery problems, I can't seem to stop thinking about all of the batteries that we use (and consume) in our gadgets.

If you figure that most gadgets (and toys) take two or four batteries (AA, AAA or C), that would add up to a lot of batteries.

And what about cell phones with all of their own special types of batteries?

Now what about digital cameras and all of the batteries that those gadgets eat up? (At least they're not as bad as they used to be regarding battery consumption.)

And do I need to think about flashlights, too?

This list could go on and on and on and on ...

(Neat "up close and personal" photo from GreenerChoices.org, isn't it?)

Is it just me? Why can't I stop worrying?
