It's for a better cause. It's for increasing recycling and getting trash off the side of the road. Anything that can do that, I think, is a good thing.

The reason we are supporting the bill is because it's not their money to begin with.

Right now the (bottling industry) gets millions of dollars back from the 5 cent unpaid deposits.

Last year, the third grade did a big paper-making project during the recycling unit. Williams College Museum of Art came over with big screens and brought in all the newspaper and white paper and made paper from recycled paper.

This has changed with the proliferation of roadside memorials which localize and personalize the road dead.

You can argue we can get rid of recycling and save the city a million dollars, but why don't we try to get rid of the garbage and save the city even more money?
