    That’s what I came here to say. Sooo…we’re going to start seeing environmental fees similar to electronics and tires? They’re not going to be bottle deposits, since we won’t get any money back.

    I’d be okay with a deposit system if that means manufacturers used packaging that could actually be re-used (like, say, glass bottles for pop).

    Why do I have a feeling this is just going to result in the cost of products going up and our taxes won’t go down.
