How many of plastic bottles from the now poplar bottled water (paying for water is another subject I'll tackle later) end up in the landfills. The majority I'm sure. Maybe that's a good start for deposts on bottles. I kind of like that idea.

I was just telling my kids about the 'old' days when we use to walk around and pick up pop bottles to make a few cents at the grocery store. Candy was sometimes a penny or nickel so we could just bring in a bottle and get candy. But really we could find glass bottles pretty fast and it would add up for a kid back then.
I am sure if they put a small deposit on the water bottles my kids would make sure I quit just throwing them in the garbage bag. Or maybe bring them in for stamps such as the old S&H stamps where you could save and get something for it. Maybe coupons for more water. lol
I know a few years ago our school collected the box top coupons on certain cereals. They were worth a dime each. Our goal would be to reach $500.00 each year and we did it.
Incentives makes a huge difference.
