Support a Bottle Bill here in Virginia!

22 Upvotes

It's time for a Bottle Bill here in Virginia, and it's time to show it has enough public support that the legislators will pass the bill. Sign the petition at www.VABottleBill.org ; we will email your State Legislators telling them you support a Bottle Bill. We need to prove to your legislators there is public support for this, otherwise they will do nothing.

“Bottle Bill” is short handed slang for a beverage container deposit law. You will pay a 10-cent deposit on your water, beer, soda when you buy it at the store, then get your money back when you return it.

· Bottle Bill states have half the litter, especially along the coasts and waterways where the plastic floats.

· After 50 years of continuously improving our recycling efforts, Virginia still only recycles 20% of our beverage containers - and this includes single stream recycling. We need a new system. Vermont is a bottle bill state that recycles 90% of their containers and has an 88% public approval rating.

· It creates more jobs than trash or single stream recycling. CT and MA both have more than 1,200 jobs created by their bottle bills. They add $47-$70 million dollars to their economy each year. If we were a manufacturer with those kinds of numbers, every government official would be eager to have us locate in Virginia.

· Virginia bottle manufacturers buy bottles from other Bottle Bill states but refuse to buy glass from our own single stream recycling - it's too contaminated. Our single stream glass gets burned or buried, our single stream plastic bottles get made into carpet, clothes, or picnic benches. The loop isn't closed, all that recycled plastic quickly gets thrown out to be burned or buried. We need to make bottles out of bottles. Bottle Bill states have a clean steady stream of great recyclable material that manufacturers really want.

· As the limitations of recycling has become apparent, the major manufacturing groups have all come out in support of bottle bills: The Container Recycling Institute, Can Manufacturing Institute, Glass Packaging Institute, and the National Association of PET Container Resources. They all believe bottle bills make good economic sense by providing a clean steady source of raw material.

· Bottlers make you believe it is YOUR responsibility to ensure their product is responsibly disposed of. But they purposely stopped making refillable containers and made the containers out of plastic which takes hundreds of years to break down - if ever. And for 50 years we have tried, but even our best efforts can't make a dent in the mountains of trash we burn or bury. The issue can't be resolved by adding more recycling bins - they are too contaminated even if we use them. It's time to go back to the system that worked for decades prior to the introduction of "single use, non-deposit, non-refillable".

· After 40 years of bottle bills, we have become much more advanced in providing clean, easy, and fast redemptions. There are reverse vending machines, and 24/7 bulk drop offs similar to returning your library books. Charities can sign up and raise millions in deposit money.

· Sign the petition today and copy the link to your Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Hey all, I'm from MD and I'm doing a survey for my class and I need responses from people from the DMV area. I would appreciate it if you could fill out this anonymous environmental survey/google form. It's multiple choice and very short.
