First article I wrote for Focus on Sherlock

Reading some of my articles elsewhere is now possible as my good friend Sherlock kindly asked me to write on ecology and sustainable development for his blog.

Sherlock is a photography enthusiast and his pictures are just mesmerizing. The latest version of his blog, Focus on Sherlock puts more emphasis on his works.

My first article there is about batteries as those little things are everywhere from our mobile phones to our cameras and as they are responsible of an important pollution

To reduce this, we have two different possibilities :

• The first solution that comes to the mind is simple : recycling. By deposing your used batteries in in recycling centres or some shops that propose you to take care of your used batteries, you will avoid them going to landfills where they will

• The second solution is to use rechargeable batteries. These ones can be recharged up to 500 times and will thus cause a pollution which is 500 times less.

To learn out more, and to see great pictures, I strongly recommend you visiting Sherlock’s homepage. Please add it to your bookmarks and or to your RSS feeds as I will write many other articles with time on this website. I will of course keep you updated with future posts.

As Sherlock asked me to find an avatar for my articles on his blog, my choice went to a picture from Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson notorious comics. As a fan, I reviewed here the complete Calvin and Hobbes on a previous cultural break.
