You’ve got your Wii Gaming Console and you’re loving it. Just like the rest of the world you have been bitten by the Wii bug. When you are having a good time gaming, however, you might not think of the one big downside to the Wii gaming console and that is the Wii remote batteries.

The Facts

Alkaline batteries are responsible for up to 20% of the household hazardous materials that make their way to local landfills. There are over 84,000 tons of alkaline batteries disposed of each year in America…no small amount.

The Danger

So whats the danger?

Batteries are not as innocent as they first appear. Once the batteries are taken to the landfills they begin to breakdown and decay. This decay releases the hazardous materials that are contained within the batteries, including mercury and toxins.

The disposal of alkaline batteries in landfills has caused environmentalists worldwide to sit up and take notice. Efforts are underway to reduce and eventually eliminate the number of batteries that are sitting in our landfills waiting to release their poison.

What Can be Done About It?

You may be saying – “I just wanted to enjoy my Wii gaming console, I didn’t mean to hurt the environment”. Luckily there is a course of action you can take that will help reduce the problem. What is the solution?

The answer to this moral dilemma is simply to use rechargeable batteries. For your Wii remote controls, a Wii charge station will serve the purpose well. Rechargeable batteries have been known to survive up to 2000 time and will allow you to replace 300 alkaline batteries. Batteries that would have made it into the landfills.

The reduction of poisonous materials seeping into our landfills will be greatly reduced if gamers simply choose to use rechargeable batteries in their Wii remote controls.

The Wii charge station saves your landfills, saves you money on batteries, and as a huge side bonus, it makes sure the next time youre ready to pick up a remote and play, your batteries will have the juice to perform.

Something Nintendo still has in development is the “vitality sensor”, which is going to be a fingertip sensor which clips on your finger, and then reads your bio-rhythms with a light sensor. The idea is that this sensor will read your brain waves, giving you a biofeedback experience. Could Meditation for Wii be far behind? think of the uses: Teachers could use this in class to help students with focus, improve attention and other benefits. Anyone could use it at home to lower blood pressure., the possiilities are endless, if it works! This is theoretically to be released in 2010.
