A Revolution in Battery Recharging!

Here's a question for you...How do you currently dispose of your used up alkaline batteries?

Most people...myself included, merely toss them in the bin without a second thought. We really should pay heed to this thoughtlessness though, as in essence, our landfills are increasingly becoming the home to seriously toxic chemicals which...if we're not careful, can get into our precious groundwater and effect our already fragile ecosystem.

This excerpt, taken from Earth Talk (The Environmental Magazine) states :

"Unfortunately, most of the more than 750 million alkaline batteries sold each year to power our cameras, flashlights and Discmans are landfilled and incinerated, not recycled. The chemicals in these batteries—particularly cadmium—present a major health hazard if they leak from their corroded metal jackets. Cadmium is a probable human carcinogen, and it can also affect kidney and lung function".

Now, when one starts thinking of all those people dear to you that are suffering from some or other type of Cancer, vague links begin to form...

Makes a person think doesn't it...?

Our in house brand, Relife, has a remarkable product in its range. A product that may not defeat the alkaline battery disposal problem in its entirety, but help nonetheless.

This nifty and attractive desktop charger, has the ability of recharging NON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

You heard me right. You no longer have to fork out for those costly rechargeable batteries which are roughly 4 times the price of the normal alkaline version. This charger is capable of recharging most good quality alkaline batteries as well as Ni-CD and Ni-MH batteries up to 40 times!

With a 24 hour auto shut down of the device,  one is given peace of mind that the charger will not overheat, overcharge or short circuit.

The Relife battery charger is so intellligent it is capable of identifying faulty batteries, incorrect polarity, negative delta voltage, zero delta voltage and high temperatures...a serious breakthrough in battery technologies.

Available at the extremely reasonable price of R489.00, from our online store (www.civvio.com) and select independents around the Western Cape, you'll be silly to miss out on this fantastic "must have" essential for any eco-conscious home. Every little bit helps!

CiVViO Hemp Tee's in store now!

CiVViO Hemp proudly introduces their new range of ultra eco-conscious tshirts.

Available across 4 great colours, these shirts are composed of a 55% hemp / 45% organic cotton blend.

Hemp, also known as the World's most durable fiber not only has great benefits to the wearer but Mother Earth as well. 

On purchasing your CiVViO Hemp tshirt, the nifty recyclable swing tag will provide you with a succinct education on why hemp, and its various uses, is the way forward... 

Congratulations

You’ve made the wise and eco-friendly choice by purchasing your CiVViO HemP T-SHIRT

YOUR MIND:

No, you cannot smoke your shirt J.

Hemp Sativa is the Cannabis variant that does not contain THC, the psychoactive ingredient found in its sister plant, Cannabis Indica.

You are however in luck as your HemP T-SHIRT has many benefits to you and Mother Earth.

YOUR BODY:

Hemp breathes well and has superior insulation properties so be it hot or cold, you will be comfortable at all times.

Due to its mildew and microbe resistance, it’s a healthy option for your skin too and your HemP T-SHIRT will stay free from nasty odours.

Known as the most durable natural fibre, your HemP T-SHIRT will retain its shape and becomes softer with every wash.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT:

Hemp needn’t be grown with herbicides, fungicides or pesticides so it’s completely organic and requires far less water and space than that of cotton production.

As hemp is a renewable, reusable and recyclable resource, it’s an excellent biomass fuel producer and has assisted in reducing the loss of irreplaceable fossil fuels.

You and your CiVViO HemP T-SHIRT are in for a long relationship and are destined to become best buddies, wear it with pride!

Due to the extreme similarity in appearance to that of Cannabis Indica aka Dagga, there has been controversy around growing it legally.

Efforts are underway within South Africa in order to legalise farming this miracle plant. So many different industries within our country, along with our environment,  stand to benefit from the growth of it
