I wish they'd charge a 25cent deposit for every plastic bottle sold. "Bottled Water" in Ontario, will soon be a thing of the past. Thank Gawd.... |

Freezing water to make ice cubes is a waste of a valuable resource when the ice is put into a cooler. Freezing bottles of water to use as "ice" in a cooler doesn't waste the water. Besides there is plenty of oil around to continue to make the plastic bottles. Well, that just means you're putting that bottle on which you paid a deposit to good use. That's much better than trashing it alongside the road or in the bay. |

That's much better than trashing it alongside the road or in the bay. Littering is a separate issue. Do you think we should have a deposit on all containers, wrappers and cups? I fish out all the trash I see in the river and I get as many ice bags, subway bags and styrofoam cups as I do beverage containers. Water bottles are really fairly rare. I believe Cal just passed a law forcing grocery stores to give up plastic bags in the checkout. |
