We all know alkaline batteries are really bad for the environment if you don’t dispose of them properly. The right thing to do is send them to special recycling centers but hundreds of tons end up in landfills where their toxic innards seep into the earth. Perhaps a good solution is the Energy Seed, an LED lamp post powered by trashed alkaline batteries.
The idea is to encourage people to throw their batteries away into the Energy Seed. There’s a slot for nearly every size battery. The unit combines any left over juice from all the batteries to power a super efficient LED ring.
Of course once the bins are full, we’re left with the same original problem. Somebody has to collect all those spent batteries and recycle them.

Okay…You are making the same mistake all these other “future tech” designers make…that is the design of the lamp is so “futurey”. It’s disgusting. I would never have this eye sore in my house.
It’s the number one reason electric cars sell like shit after their high sticker prices. All the designers try to make them look like jettson spaceships of the future instead of, you know, cars.
Fix the way this looks and I’d probably be down to purchase this.
I think this idea would be cool for the home. I would love something like this that you could put alkaline bats in and then have a charge center for your rechargeable batteries.
Omg this is so amazing I want this on my street and I am only 11. Pink would be a good color for it if it was in my room.
