Bottled water ban

[Barbara]

I've not seen much offer in it

It seems like a good idea to me. People still equate waste with "prosperity" and think recycling's for kooks and poor people. I suppose you could institute a return charge on water bottles like they do on pop bottles & beer cans, but they'd have to fight the distributors all over again.

Love, Columbine (who's discovered that fabulous bit of technology, the seltzer bottle - but can't convince her city to recycle the empty steel charger capsules!)

Columbine, even if your city won't recyce them, call a scrap metal place - they might.

A scrap dealer will take any steel. They may not pay you for it (Steel/iron are less than $.01/lb), but they will get into the recycling stream.
