GO GREEN? Hundreds of electric scooters pulled from Michigan river – Concern over ‘hazard of lithium-ion batteries being in the river…lithium, it reacts with water. It’ll actually ignite’

It’s the same message in Chicago, where piles of e-bikes dumped into Lake Michigan are prompting environmental concerns and criticism directed at the city-owned Divvy bike share system.
