I agree that soda is far less necessary than water.
@LuckyGuy
That’s a good idea and I doubt that .25 would be necessary as incentive.
Here in Michigan, all soda bottles are charged .10 each at purchase and people are bringing them back in droves.
As a matter of fact, one store has placed a limit of how many can be redeemed per person per day as there are plenty of enterprising folks scouring waste bins and trash cans for bottles that others are throwing out just to make some extra cash.
However, for some unknown reason, they don’t accept water bottles even tho the smaller soda bottles of roughly the same size are fine.
This makes absolutely no sense to me at all. They already have the mechanism in place (gigantic collection machines) so why not include water bottles as well? Its not as if its some radically different form of plastic.
Ain’t bureaucracy wonderful~~
