🔋🚗 Over a million EVs are already on the road—and counting. That increase will create a demand for more battery materials. Recycling older batteries from retired EVs could meet a good amount of that new demand, and doing so will mean less mining, which is a win for communities and the environment.

Another day, another article about the “top four” candidates in this race. Interesting how the only woman polling right behind them somehow keeps getting edited out. If you’re tired of politics being treated like a private boys’ club, help us prove them wrong.
