My darlin works for TapIt, an NYC-area organization trying to reduce bottled water intake and increase tap water usage. She just wrote up some great news about a small refund attached to bottles that's been passed in NY. The state is one of many that give you 5 or 10 cents in return for bringing back plastic and glass bottles that have been used and tagged with a refund stamp (see picture from seattlepi.com)
Natasha says many people already collect bottles in NY to cash them in and now we can include used waterbottles in the mix. Although there's plenty more to be done, as she details in the post, this is a step towards reducing our waste.
