Non-carbonated Bottle Deposit
Help reduce waste in landfills and roads by getting bill signed into law to require a deposit on all bottles that contain liquids that are for human consumption.
Why is this important?
It was proven that when the "Bottle Bill" was signed into effect in the 1970's that roadside waste was reduced by nearly 80%. While that was a giant leap, we could do even more by voting into law another such required deposit on all bottles that contain liquids that are used for human consumption, ie sports drinks, water, and juices. Containers, such as oil bottles, household cleaner bottles, etc. would not be included. We, as Michiganders, have been returning our deposit bottles for nearly forty years. We already know how to do it with efficiency. Why not take the next step to help keep Michigan majestic!
