ah, this is on my list of things to write about because I believe it to be the bigger scam.

Glass bottles were already recycled. No Deposit No Return were labeled on those bottles that were not recovered, cleaned, and repackaged by the bottlers.

the farce i recall them foisting on us is the CONSERVATION of water, that it would be better for the environment because you'd use less water. Anyone who's taken even simple science classes knows that is INCORRECT. The cycle of water is such that it will be returned without issue. Next level of science teaches CONSERVATION OF MATTER, no matter is gained or lost.

Glass bottles provided the simpler return, trucks left the facility with full bottles, and came back with empty bottles. Now they come back completely empty. A complete waste of the truck wear and tear, and then the fuel.

Once they destroyed the ability for bottlers to use glass bottles, the local state governments got the money instead of the companies. Companies had no choice but to force more creating of new plastic bottles, and had to now pay the government for the benefit of those containers.

Yet it turns out that water bottles are exempt from those same things. Water bottles have a high waste total and come even from overseas, where soda is locally produced in regional bottling centers.

oh... i could go on and on... but I'm done for the moment.
