[QUOTE="richg99, post: 460893, member: 4376"] Might be "redeemable" in CA. but not in many other States. Economics drives many decisions. IMHO, unless a State decides to play Big Brother and force the seller/manufacturer to add a cost to the purchase, and then refund some or all of the additional cost when someone brings the bottle back in...it isn't going to be cost effective for a store to redeem and store the empties. Redemption may well be the right thing to do, but most States aren't going to pass legislation that their constituents do not support. I do not know how anyone can force common sense on a society that throws way just about everything. I've read of some progress being made with new bio-degradable plastics. If "they" could perfect that, it would go along way towards solving the problem. [/QUOTE]
