RE: [greenyes] "Should Congress pass a national deposit law?"

Well, someone for example said they wanted to say that curbside recycling
programs are a better way to capture containers for recycling.

Unfortunately the way the poll was done the only other option - other than a
bottle bill - was a negative answer based on people's limited understanding
of what other options exist.

  What other strategies would there be?

    Do you know what made them decide to ask the question in this manner?
Seems
    to me that there could have been other options allowed for polling
purposes.
    Aren't there other strategies that could reduce container waste? I think
    it's great that they put up a poll, just not sure they are asking the
right
    questions.

    Comments?
