My computer has a wireless keyboard and mouse. Both take two AA batteries. I am anticipating I will need to change the batteries in the mouse about once every six weeks, and twice that for the keyboard. Now here’s the problem- The batteries would fall under “nessesity”, as I need them to get through my life, and it looks like I would need about 32 AA batteries for the year. That’s a lot of batteries, and a lot of waste.
Now, I could go out and get a battery charger and 4 AA batteries. However, the charger would count as stuff, and would violate the rules of this project. I think I am going to have to go ahead and break the rule and buy a battery charger.
