Signatures are for an addition to include plastic water bottles in the Michigan Beverage Container Act which provides carbonated drinks with a deposit of $.10. Signatures will be collected and sent to our local representative Gary Glenn. More public awareness of the issue is vital to getting a plastic water bottle deposit bill passed. Getting those plastic bottles out of our rivers and ditches will make for a much healthier environment.

Plastic waste keeps piling up in our local waterways. I am busy drafting formal requests for representative Glenn to address this now.

The momentum is undeniable now. Seeing this level of support confirms that people are ready to clean up our rivers.

Living in MI we already do this for pop cans so why not water bottles too?? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
I have been saying this for years. We need to step up as a a Nation and take care of our resources.
Less waste, more recycling!
I would return them!
Heck yeah!!! :)

This is the only thing which is going to ultimately get plastic bottles out of the sea. People are only going to take recycling seriously if there is a charge involved. From rivers they just go into the sea and even if they are buried in a landfill site near a water source they can get carried into a river and then eventually into the sea. We have to do something to stop the plastic rubbish going into the ocean.
