A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.
Huh, who knew
You can get lithium from the pharmacy if you act crazy enough. Farm fresh lithium too, not some old phone battery lithium.
You don’t just suck on your old batteries?
Fucking spoiled rich kids and their pharmacy grade lithium…I prefer 9-Volt. It’s shockingly good.
This shows how one company (li-cycle) that claims they recycle 95% of the lithium does it: https://youtu.be/s2xrarUWVRQ
99.99% doesn’t seem too far-fetched.
When refining a process, it becomes exponentially more difficult and expensive the closer you get to 100% efficiency. 0-95% costs less than 95-99%, which costs less than 99%-99.99%
Unless you find/invent a new procedure that’s way more efficient instead of doing more cycles of known procedures.

It’s probably not cheaper than just shooting orphans for sport.

You don’t need to shoot them with a gun. Bow and arrows allows for more skill expression and are renewable alternatives. Not to mention that it is a great workout routine.
You can also reuse the arrows.
Some need to be discarded and some will be used for the trophy case, but overall a very green and humane hobby.
