The US uses 25% of the world's natural resources but our recycling rate nationally is deplorable. We need to have a deposit on cans and bottles to encourage people to recycle. It's a concept that works in many states and there is no reason that some states should get a free pass from doing their fair share to make our world a better place.
Why is this important?
The US uses 25% of the world's natural resources but our recycling rate nationally is deplorable. We can do better and be the example fr our children and the rest of the world. By having a deposit in and and bottles, people will be encouraged to recycle and our public places will be free of this sort of debris, as there will be a financial incentive for people to pick up this 'trash.'
