I am proposing that NNHS pass a less official \"Bottle Bill Legislation\" in our school\'s cafeterias. It would require students who buy their soft drinks, and other drinks in recyclable bottles, to pay a small fee along with the original price. (E.g. Original Price: $1.00; New Price: $1.10) Then, after the student has finished his or her drink, he or she would then return it to one of the lunch persons working during that lunch period. The lunch person would then give back the deposit to the student, which would be $0.10 using the earlier example. I feel that this would encourage more students to actively recycle in our school. In addition, the school would benefit from the small profit made off of students who do not return their bottles. Overall, the only negative consequence of this idea will only be experienced by those who are not willing to return their empty bottles. If you agree with my idea and would like to see something like this actually enacted at NNHS then please sign below. If there are any questions my e-mail address can be found under the sponsor section. Please inform others of this petition. Thank you. (Note: Please include your name and the name of your school.)

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that people are finally noticing the waste in our cafeteria. It is exhausting to keep pushing for simple changes, but seeing this level of support keeps me going.

Great idea. NNHS really needs to step up its recycling game. It is way too easy to just toss everything in the garbage right now.

The amount of trash in the cafeteria is honestly gross. Kids just leave bottles everywhere instead of using the bins. This would actually force them to clean up after themselves.

Too much effort for 10 cents. Kids are just gonna lose the quarters anyway.
