Go to your nearest full-service camera store. Speak with the OWNER or GENERAL MANAGER. Ask him or her whether they would have wanted to participate in an exchange system. (That is, a system where there was say, a $10 deposit on each mercury battery and you weren't allowed to buy one without turning one in.) As the owners of my local store said, 'We pay our employees to sell things, not to protect the environment." Besides, by killing mercury batteries, the sale of new cameras and accessories was INCREASED, a neat piece of planned obsolescence. Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir!
